3,4 Rock-step backward R, replace weight forward onto L - facing 12 o'clock

This is my sort of music, laid back with lots of piano and a slow swing rhythm.

Even though the ending is far from perfect for a dance song, I had to dance to it,

so here is the result - it is relaxed and easy to go with the music.

When you get to the section near the end of the song where the music stops and Dolly

keeps singing slowly keep dancing at the same tempo & you should be starting the

dance on count 1 as the music comes back - if that is too hard, just call it quits

This is on Dolly's latest CD, Backwoods Barbie.
