Homestead Hoedown by Girard
Homestead Hoedown
Verse 1
Well, the sun is settin’ on the homestead,
The fire’s cracklin’ and the stars are spread,
Grab your boots and your favorite hat,
It’s time for a dance, and we’re gonna get at that!
Chorus
Swing your partner ’round and ’round,
Kick up your heels and hit the ground,
Join the circle, don’t be shy,
At the homestead hoedown, we’ll reach for the sky!
Verse 2
The fiddle’s playin’ a sweet old tune,
The barn’s alive under the harvest moon,
Neighbors gather, laughter fills the air,
In this simple joy, we haven’t a care.
Chorus
Swing your partner ’round and ’round,
Kick up your heels and hit the ground,
Join the circle, don’t be shy,
At the homestead hoedown, we’ll reach for the sky!
Bridge
Feel the rhythm of the boots on the floor,
From the youngest to the old folks, everyone’s wanting more,
The community’s strong, we’re all here together,
In this farmyard fun, we’re light as a feather.
Chorus
Swing your partner ’round and ’round,
Kick up your heels and hit the ground,
Join the circle, don’t be shy,
At the homestead hoedown, we’ll reach for the sky!
Verse 3
The pie’s been baked, and the cider’s sweet,
Everyone’s dancin’ to the steady beat,
Grandma’s grinnin’, and the kids are wild,
In this square dance, we’re all reconciled.
Chorus
Swing your partner ’round and ’round,
Kick up your heels and hit the ground,
Join the circle, don’t be shy,
At the homestead hoedown, we’ll reach for the sky!
Breakdown
Hear the banjo strummin’ a lively line,
Step in time, let your worries unwind,
From the crack of dawn ’til the moon is high,
We’re dancin’ close, ‘neath the starlit sky.
Verse 4
The barn’s a beacon of our simple life,
Filled with joy, away from daily strife,
Hold your loved ones, spin ’em ’round,
In this homestead hoedown, we’ve found common ground.
Chorus
Swing your partner ’round and ’round,
Kick up your heels and hit the ground,
Join the circle, don’t be shy,
At the homestead hoedown, we’ll reach for the sky!
Outro
As the night turns to dawn, we’ll hold on tight,
To the memories we made in the soft moonlight,
The homestead’s heart is where we all belong,
At the hoedown’s end, we’ll sing our song.
Chorus
Swing your partner ’round and ’round,
Kick up your heels and hit the ground,
Join the circle, don’t be shy,
