HOEDOWN

THE LAST HOEDOWN

She threw herself a party
When the deal was signed
Walked away with money
And no-one on her mind;
Friends came from everywhere
To let their hair hang down
Into the wee hours of
"Heather's last hoedown."

They barbequed 'til midnight
Drank beer until dawn
Played strip poker just for fun
'Til nothing was left on;
Everyone was smiling
No-one wore a frown
Then they heard snoring
At Heather's last hoedown.

She made believe she was asleep
All curled up alone
As the crowd disappeared
She picked up the phone;
He said his plane had landed
She should just go to sleep
So she slept there on the floor
Without another peep.

When they drove away from there
And said their last goodbyes
She held her head up
And never even cried;
Money in her favourite purse
Her teary eyes still brown
Everyone had a blast
At Heather's last hoedown.

The flowers were all blooming
The old house just sat still
Awaiting it's new owners
Whose names were Jack & Jill;
And when they heard the foghorn
In the little seaside town
Just like a song, they named it
"Heather's Last Hoedown."
