I pulled that straight-back wicker chair
Up next to grandpa's bed
And with a voice left weak by pain
My grandpa softly said
Could you get my cowboy boots and
That Gold pocket watch of mine and
Bring me my Sunday suit
With a vest that's satin lined
As he saw the sadness
In his grandson's eyes
Said I've got to be prepared
'Cause I'm Going home tonight
I'm gonna waltz across the heavens
While a band of angel's pray
I'm gonna two-step on some stardust
A million miles away
You'll never have a new beginning
Until you've reached the end
And these old legs are going
To come to life again
Gonna wake up dancin'
Said if it's not too much trouble
There's one thing left to do
Since I'm going to see your grandma
Could you get her favorite shoes
The ones with those ribbons
Red and trimmed in white
The last time she had 'em on
I believe we danced all night
And why she left them here
It's plain to see
Your grandma never danced with
Anyone but me
We're gonna waltz across the heavens
While a band of angels play
We're gonna two-step on some stardust
A million miles away
I'll never have a new beginning
Until I've reached the end
And these old legs are going
To come to life again
Gonna wake up dancin'
Gonna wake up dancin'
Gonna wake up dancin'
