Choreographer's Note: I remember dancing a partner dance to this song when I first

started Line Dancing and loved the song then.

I recently heard the song again while watching a movie late one night and so dug up

the CD, knocked off the cobwebs and choreographed this dance. And thanks to my son

Corey for starting this dance. ENJOY
