Lessons Learned    (GWR 185)  Monte Guenzler

OPENER



Grand Square
I was ten years old the day I got caught
With a match box car that I never bought
I hung my head and I faced the wall
Allemande and Weave the ring
He said this hurts me more than it does you
There's some things son, that you just don't do
Is anything I'm sayin getting through,
Daddy I can see the light

FIGURE



Heads Promenade travel halfway round
Walk in and Square Thru Four Hands
All the way and a Right and Left Thru,
Veer Left and Ferris Wheel
Centers Square Thru Three hands round,
Swing that Girl, Promenade
Oh there's no way around it 'Cause this world turns,
On lessons learned

MIDDLE BREAK



Grand Square
Daddy was a man I loved
He bought my my first ball and glove
Even taught me how to drive this truck
Allemande and Weave the ring
Oh lessons learned, man they sure run deep
They don't go away and they don't come cheap
Well there's no way around it 'Cause this world turns,
On lessons learned

CLOSER



Grand Square
He spoke of life with a slow southern drawl
I never heard him, 'cause I knew it all
But I sure listened when I got the call
Allemande and Weave the ring
Oh lessons learned, man they sure run deep
They don't go away and they don't come cheap
Well there's no way around it 'Cause this world turns,
On lessons learned
