Scratching Circles Songtext

von JD McPherson

When I get an inkling in the middle of the evening
I'll meet you by the Old Creek Road
We'll hit the VFW by the Tuskahoma line
When the band lays down the first hot note
Hot Licks
Cheap kicks
Pretty women
It's a real short trip
Rock salt by the door
Scratchin' circles on the old dance floor
We're scratchin' out the beat with the leather on our feet,
Drawing circles on the hard concrete
Spinning with the salty rhythm and the moves are gonna get 'em
Just a churning and shaking like the deep blue sea
Rollin' the rock in the salt candy shop
A sweet and savory treat
With a little bit of grit and one or two nips
I'm gonna jump and shuffle to my feet
