Take me to the place where the white boys dance Take me to the place where they run and play My baby is gone, you might have a chance Just take me to the place where the white boys dance
They hug in silence as the sun sets on their empty street Her suspicions, well they're rising high And the man who sweeps him off she doesn't meet She walks inside and pours a strong one to put her mind at ease It's the calm before another storm Her brain shifts from the whiskey to the keys
Take me to the place where the white boys dance Take me to the place where they run and play My baby is gone, you might have a chance Just take me to the place where the white boys dance
Her heart is racing She phones a friend and says, "I'm in an awful place That fool's been messing round on me I've seen it in his eyes and on his face" Hold on a minute, you're talking crazy Don't be that jealous, girl Just tell Levon you need an hour or two 'cause we're gonna go and change somebody's world
Take me to the place where the white boys dance Take me to the place where they run and play My baby is gone, you might have a chance Just take me to the place where the white boys dance
It's the calm before another storm It's the calm before another storm Her brain shifts from the whiskey to the keys
Take me to the place where the white boys dance Take me to the place where they run and play My baby is gone, you might have a chance Just take me to the place where the white boys dance
