Choreographer's Notes:  The Dean Brothers asked me to choreograph a dance to a track on this album.

I choose this upbeat, easy-going song, perfect for an easy-going line dance.  I highly recommend this

album, loaded with great songs for line dancing.  The pattern is slightly revised from the original version.
