One… Two… Three… Let’s see what happens. ⸻ [Verse 1] I can’t remember a time When I was not I, Walking underneath these stars Wondering exactly why. Then somebody laughed, Somebody sang, Somebody handed me a beat— Now the whole darn world Looks better Moving both my feet! ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] The kids say, “Play that weird one!” I say, “I thought I just did.” They say, “No… The other weird one!” Well… Alright then… ⸻ [CHORUS] Dance! Like tomorrow ain’t offended. Smile! Like your heart already mended. Spin! Till the worries lose their shoes. Sweet… That’s just what me and you do. Hey! Shake the dust right out your soul. Whoa! Laugh until you’re feeling whole. True… Delicious, bright, brand new… That’s how we do— Me and you! ⸻ [Verse 2] Bluegrass… Blues… Psychedelic too— Little bit of porch swing, Little cosmic view. Little bit of Jesus, Little bit of jazz, Little bit of asking “What in heaven WAS that?” ⸻ [Fiddle Break] (Banjo answers every phrase.) (Harmonica joins.) (Entire band stomping.) ⸻ [Verse 3] Everybody’s carrying Some invisible stone. Funny how a dancing crowd Can make you feel at home. A stranger starts smiling. Somebody starts singing. Before the night is over… Everybody’s ringing. ⸻ [DOUBLE CHORUS] Dance! Like your heartbeat knows the way. Sing! Like you’ve waited all the day. Move! Like your shadow finally flew. Sweet… That’s just what me and you do! Hey! Leave your troubles by the gate. Whoa! Love arrives a little late. True… Beautiful right through… That’s how we do— Me and you! ⸻ [Bridge — Half-Time Groove] Life’s too mysterious To spend it standing still. If joy comes knocking— Open the door. If sorrow visits— Pull up another chair. Everything belongs… Once the music gets there. ⸻ [Final Chorus — Full Festival] Dance! Till the sunrise starts applauding. Smile! Like the universe is nodding. Live! Like you’ve got good work to do. Sweet… That’s how we do— Me and you! (Everybody!) Dance! Laugh! Love! Repeat! Dance! Laugh! Love! Repeat! (band stops) “…One more?” (huge cheer) ⸻
