You had a baby, you were seventeen years old
I was on the road tryin' to make it my home
You had a man but he wasn't no good to ya
I was with women I didn't know
Footloose, fancy free
Pretty lady won't you dance with me
'Cause one look from your eyes
And I knew that it was right this time

Before you came around, eh eh eh eh
Couldn't figure out, eh eh eh
Where I was going
I was wanderin' wonderin' wanderin' around
Before I found my way, eh eh eh
I was running like a stray, eh eh eh
And I was a lost boy, just a lost boy

Before you came around

Sweet country baby, you were singing at the airport
Rakin' in tips with the heel of your boot
I must have passed you by a hundred times before
Cupid saw it fit to let me dance with you
Footloose, fancy free
Pretty lady won't you dance with me
'Cause one look from your eyes
And I knew that it was right this time
