I wake up every morning, and I sleep most every night
G#                                    F#                   C#
And I drive but still the highway just keeps bending out of sight
C#
And I ride until the sunset bows its head down to the light
C#                                     F#              C#
Then I bow down to my partner too and we promenade all night

Swing me down to Ol’ Wyoming

Swing me back Dakota

Swing the girl who cleans you up

G#                                   F#                        C#
There’s one that likes to Lindy, and there’s one that likes to sway

And there’s one that likes to lead, and then there’s one that likes to stray
C#                                  F#                 C#
And you’re crazy if you leave, but just as crazy if you stay
C#                                         F#                  C#

Swing the girl who rents your heart
G#                      Bbm
Then swing the girl that owns you

Hey hey hey, hey hey hey

Hey hey hey.

G#                                F#              C#
So burn me down a dance floor, and blur me down a line
G#                                   F#                C#
And turn me down the chance before I chance to make you mine
C#
Cause it’s the holler of the heart that leads the making of the mind
C#                                  F#                      C#
It’s not that I don’t love you, I’m in love with your whole kind

C#
Swing me up down Ol’ Colorado
C#
Swing me back Nebraska

Swing the girl who tells you what

To love to love so much it must just make a heart to burst
C#                                  F#                  C#
Like a dandelion sneeze, or like a cloud that’s raining thirst
C#                                            F#              C#
