Nanci Griffith Love at the Five and Dime
Rita was sixteen years
Hazel eyes and chestnut hair
She made the Woolworth counter shine
And Eddie was a sweet romancer
And a darn good dancer
And they waltzed the aisles of the five and dime
And they’d sing
Dance a little closer to me
Hey, dance a little closer now
Dance a little closer tonight
Dance a little closer to me
Hey, it’s closing time
And love’s on sale
Tonight at this five and dime
Eddie played the steel guitar
And his mama cried ’cause he played in the bars
And he kept young Rita out late at night
Soon they married up in Abelene
Lost a child in Tennessee
But still that love survived
And they’d sing
Dance a little closer to me
Hey, dance a little closer now
Dance a little closer tonight
One of the boys in Eddie’s band
Took a shine to Rita’s hand
So , Eddie ran off with the bass man’s wife
Oh, but he was back by June
Singin’ a different tune
Sporting Miss Rita back by his side
And they’d sing
Dance a little closer to me
Hey, dance a little closer now
Dance a little closer tonight
Eddie played in the barroom band
‘Til arthritis took his hands
Now he sells insurance on the side
And Rita’s got her house to keep
She sells dime store novels with a love so sweet
And they dance to the radio late at night and still sing
And they’d sing
Dance a little closer to me
Hey, dance a little closer now
Dance a little closer tonight

Love at the Five & Dime lyrics © BMG Rights Management
I was just coastin’, never really goin’ anywhere
Caught up in a web, I was gettin’ kind of used to stayin’ there
And out of the blue
I fell for you
Now you’re liftin’ me up, ‘stead of holdin’ me down
Stealin’ my heart, ‘stead of stealin’ my crown
Untangled all the strings, round my wings, that were tied
I didn’t know him and I didn’t know me
Cloud nine, was always out of reach
Now I remember what it feels like to fly
You give me butterflies
Kiss full of color, makes me wonder where you’ve always been
I was hiding in doubt ’til you brought me out of my chrysalis
And I came out new
All because of you
Now you’re liftin’ me up, ‘stead of holdin’ me down
Stealin’ my heart, ‘stead of stealin’ my crown
Untangled all the strings, round my wings, that were tied
I didn’t know him and I didn’t know me
Cloud nine, was always out of reach
Now I remember what it feels like to fly
You give me butterflies
Yeah, you give me butterflies
Now you’re liftin’ me up, ‘stead of holdin’ me down
You’re takin’ my hand, ‘stead of takin’ my crown
Untangled all the strings, round my wings, that were tied
I didn’t know him and I didn’t know me
Cloud nine, was always out of reach
Now I remember what it feels like to fly
You give me butterflies, hmm hmm hmm
You give me butterflies, hmm hmm hmm

Baby I know that we’ve got trouble in the fields
When the bankers swarm like locust out there turning away our yield
The trains roll by our silos, silver in the rain
They leave our pockets full of nothing
But our dreams and the golden grain
Have you seen the folks in line downtown at the station
They’re all buying their ticket out and talking the great depression
Our parents had their hard times fifty years ago
When they stood out in these empty fields in dust as deep as snow
And all this trouble in our fields
If this rain can fall, these wounds can heal
They’ll never take our native soil
But if we sell that new John Deere
And then we’ll work these crops with sweat and tears
You’ll be the mule I’ll be the plow
Come harvest time we’ll work it out
There’s still a lot of love, here in these troubled fields
There’s a book up on the shelf about the dust bowl days
And there’s a little bit of you and a little bit of me
In the photos on every page
Now our children live in the city and they rest upon our shoulders
They never want the rain to fall or the weather to get colder
And all this trouble in our fields
If this rain can fall, these wounds can heal
They’ll never take our native soil
But if we sell that new John Deere
And then we’ll work these crops with sweat and tears
You’ll be the mule I’ll be the plow
Come harvest time we’ll work it out
There’s still a lot of love, here in these troubled fields
You’ll be the mule I’ll be the plow
Come harvest time we’ll work it out
There’s still a lot of love, here in these troubled fields
