Darla Dances
Darla Dances words & music by jc scott © 2015
Darla dances ‘round like a princess
Her magic wand a-wavin’
Mama talks about her exes
& all their misbehavin’

Goin’ crazy from worry & bills
In a single wide with no frills
Darla still hopes daddy will call
Or give her a clue he thinks of her at all

Darla dances round like a spinning top
And she goes all night long & never stops
Give her a flower she’ll follow you
To the end of your life
She’s a lonely lost child
Livin’ on train wreck time


Such a beauty sweet and smart
Needs the love she’s missin’
Mostly fills the hole in her heart
With her tears from wishin’

She does the best in this life she goes thru
She did not ask to get born into
Goin’ fast to where she don’t know
Only stoppin’ when the spell lets go

Darla dances round like a spinning top
And she goes all night long & never stops
Give her a flower she’ll follow you
To the end of your life
She’s a lonely lost child
Livin’ on train wreck time

What’s she got to count on
Just her dreams and that is all
Or from time to time she finds a guru for a while she can call

Dreams a prince on a white horse comes
Takes her far away from this
She leaves behind the drugs & the bums
And lives the life of a baroness

He don’t care she don’t wear Sunday clothes
Until he comes she gonna do what she knows


Darla dances round like a spinning top
And she goes all night long & never stops
Give her a flower she’ll follow you
To the end of your life
She’s a lonely lost child
Out in the wild
Tryin’ to get by
Livin' on train wreck time

Darla dances around like a princess
Her magic wand a-wavin’
