I was just 23, boots on my feet, a little honky-tonk dive, a Friday night treat.
The lights were low, the music loud, then he walked in, standing out in the crowd.
His smile was trouble, his stance was bold, like a cowboy straight from a story untold.
So I grabbed my nerve and a bottle of beer, said, hey cowboy, come sit right here.
Excuse me, do you feel what I feel?
This could be magic, it's crazy but real.
The way you're looking makes it hard to breathe.
I think tonight you're leaving with me.
So take my hand, let's make it right.
One look, one dance, one night.
Well, I was out.
I was out with the boys, just blowing off steam.
When this small town girl came into my dream.
She had a spark like fire and gold.
The kind of girl you'd fight to hold.
She walked up bold, with a confident grin.
Said, darling, don't you know?
This could begin.
I couldn't say no.
She was too damn sweet.
So I stood up tall and offered my seat.
Excuse me, do you feel what I feel?
This could be magic, it's crazy but real.
The way you're looking makes it hard to breathe.
I think tonight you're leaving with me.
So take my hand, let's make it right.
One look, one dance, one night.
So if you see a cowboy and your heart skips a beat.
Or if you spot a girl and she's all that you need.
Don't hold back.
Just take a chance
Love's a gamble
But so's this dance
Excuse me, do you feel what I feel?
This could be magic
It's crazy but real
The way you're looking makes it hard to breathe
I think tonight you're leaving with me
So take my hand, let's make it right
One look, one dance, one night
One look and I knew it was you
One dance and my heart broke through
One night to start something true
One night to start something true
One look, one dance, me and you
