Spinnin? those curlers round all day
Her little beauty shop provides a way
To work at home and sleep in late
So she can dance the night away

Pilot gotta fly—eagle gotta soar
Give a baby candy—gotta give it more
Cowboy gotta ride—gambler gotta chance
Vickie Vance gotta dance—Vickie Vance gotta dance

She can be dancin? to nothin? at all
And she does a mean swing with the shadows on the wall
Yeah and I bet she?s done the two step a million times
Yeah she drives all the boys on the dance floor wild

Pilot gotta fly—eagle gotta soar
Give a baby candy—gotta give it more
Cowboy gotta ride—gambler gotta chance
Vickie Vance gotta dance—Vickie Vance gotta dance

Oooh, she can?t stand still
Yeah, she?s dancin? off the wall
Dancin? on the window sill

Summer after graduation
Two kids stuck in Alabama
We’d be lovers any way we could
A ten buck wedding ceremony
A guy outside the courthouse told me
The weather down in South Beach
sure was good
So we hit the road like any dreamers would

She was mine for a time in Miami
Thought I had her in the palm of my hand
Like the sunrise the truth finally hit me
That her heart was halfway back to Birmingham

This ain’t what she really wanted
So baby we went on back to Mama
Found a note when I got home last night
Left a fifty for the landlord
Nothin’ here to stay around for
Ain’t but one way left to make it right
So I’m headed for that Alabama line

She was mine for a time in Miami
But things don’t always fw9ork out like you plan
Now I’m nearly out of gas and it’s raining
But I’m almost halfway back to Birmingham

Like the sunrise the truth finally hit me
That her heart was halfway back to Birmingham

The day you said goodbye
Without a tear in your eye
I just can not believe
You could take from my life
Half of everything and all of my heart

Loneliness and your name
They are one and the same
And though I’ve tried and I’ve tried
I know that you will not remain
Half of everything and all of my heart

I know that I’m just another
Heartbroken lover
With a great big chip upon this lonely shoulder
But if I ever find out that
There’s a life out there for me, for me

I know that time will take
Care of a lot of things
That we’re scared of
And I know it won’t be long until
I get my share of
Half of everything and all of my heart

I know that I’m just another
Heartbroken lover
With a great big chip upon this lonely shoulder
But if I ever find out that
There’s a life out there for me, for me

I know that time will take
Care of a lot of things
That we’re scared of
And I know it won’t be long until
I get my share of
Half of everything and all of my heart
Half of everything and all of my heart
