Dance
Danielle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This week was hard, it's getting dark
The weeds are hot in my front yard
But it's Friday night and I don't really care

The moon is out, the crickets loud
A train went by, but it's gone now
So up and down the street, I sit and stare
You could say there's not much here for us
Nothing but a pile of dirt and dust
But, baby

We could string the stars over these corn stalks
We could turn your truck into an old jukebox
Just take my hand and baby, we could fall
Let's turn this open field into an old dance hall

(Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do

Do do do, do do do
Do do do)

No neon signs, no bar on fire
It's just you and me in these headlights
Two-stepping in rolled-up Levi jeans

There ain't no band playing "Ramblin' Man"
No cowboys kicking old beer cans
Just a couple of cherry Cokes and a mix CD

Come on baby, just spin me around
When the sun comes out, we'll head back into town
But for now

We could string the stars over these corn stalks
We could turn your truck into an old jukebox
Just take my hand and baby, we could fall
Let's turn this open field into an old dance hall
We'll turn this open field into an old dance hall

Hey, baby, what do you say?
They're playing our song anyway

We could string the stars over these corn stalks
We could turn your truck into an old jukebox
Just take my hand and baby, we could fall
Let's turn this open field into an old dance hall
We'll turn this open field into our own dance hall

(Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do

Do do do, do do do
Do do do

Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do





Do do do, do do do
Do do do)

Overall Meaning

In Danielle Bradbery's song "Dance Hall," the singer describes taking a break from the real world and escaping with her partner to a quiet place, specifically an old dance hall. The first verse sets the mood of the song, with the singer admitting the hard week she's had, but still finds solace in the Friday night. As she sits on the porch, she takes in the sights and sounds around her. Even though there's nothing too remarkable around her, the simple things like the moon and crickets offer a sense of comfort.


As the chorus begins, the singer expresses her desire to make the most of the moment. She envisions a rockin' good time in the old dance hall, with her and her partner stringing the stars and turning their truck into a jukebox. The lyrics are nostalgic and romantic, as the couple dances in the headlights underneath a moonlit sky. The second verse, like the first, highlights the simplicity of their romantic evening, where they escape the stresses of the world and just focus on each other. The chorus repeats its message, but with more urgency and excitement, as they finally let go of their worries and embrace the night.


Overall, the song is about finding joy and peace with someone you love, even if it's in an unlikely and unremarkable place. "Dance Hall" is a feel-good anthem that celebrates breaking free from the normal routine and indulging in a moment of spontaneity and romance.
