Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Round that dance floor
Make my head go spinnin' 'round
Dance me over by that bandstand
'Cause I love that twin fiddle sound
When we're dancin' close
Cheek to cheek
My head gets woozy
Waltz me once again
'Round that dance floor
Make my head go spinnin' 'round
It's Friday night
And the joint is swingin'
Inside these swingin' doors
And all the cowpokes they're a dancin'
And slippin' 'round this sawdust floor
But you better watch out
Who you let cut in
'Cause you might loose your baby
To your best friend
Well, waltz me once again
'Round that dance floor
Make my head go spinnin' 'round
We spin around, 'round and 'round
Dancin' all night long
The music stopped at three o`clock
But some fool turned that jukebox on
Waltz me once again
'Round the dance floor We'll dance all night long
The song "Once Again" by H.A.W.K. and Chris Ward is a classic country tune that encapsulates the experience of dancing with someone you love. The lyrics describe the joy and dizzying feeling of being waltzed around the dance floor, with references to the twin fiddle sound and sawdust on the floor. The singer begs to be waltzed once again, capturing the feeling of being lost in the moment with someone special. The lyrics also allude to the danger of letting someone else cut in during the dance, potentially losing the person you love to a friend.
The song is a perfect example of the timeless quality of country music, with its focus on simple pleasures like dancing and twangy instruments like the fiddle. It speaks to a universal experience of love and the power of music to bring people together. The style and sound of the song is reminiscent of classic country artists like Hank Williams and Patsy Cline, while still feeling fresh and relevant for modern audiences.

Waltz me once again
Requesting the partner to dance the waltz one more time
Round that dance floor
Dancing around the ballroom
Make my head go spinnin' 'round
Feeling dizzy and elated while dancing
Dance me over by that bandstand
Moving closer to the live music being played by the band
'Cause I love that twin fiddle sound
Admiring the melodious notes coming out of the two fiddles being played
When we're dancin' close
Dancing with the partner in a tight embrace
Cheek to cheek
Having the cheeks touching while dancing
My head gets woozy
Feeling intoxicated and lightheaded while spinning around
And my knees get weak
Feeling physically weak and unstable while dancing
It's Friday night
Referring to the specific night of the week
And the joint is swingin'
The establishment is alive and active
Inside these swingin' doors
Indicating the entrance of the establishment
And all the cowpokes they're a dancin'
The male customers are dancing
And slippin' 'round this sawdust floor
Moving around on the dancefloor covered with sawdust
But you better watch out
Need to be cautious
Who you let cut in
Choosing carefully who gets to dance with the partner
Cause you might loose your baby
Risking the partner's affections by allowing someone else to dance with them
To your best friend
Even the closest friend could be a threat to the relationship
We spin around, 'round and 'round
Continuously spinning around on the dancefloor
Dancin' all night long
Dancing all through the night
The music stopped at three o'clock
The live music ended at a certain time
But some fool turned that jukebox on
Someone restarted the music using a jukebox
Waltz me once again
Requesting the partner to dance the waltz one more time
'Round the dance floor
Referring to the ballroom as a whole
We'll dance all night long
Continuing to dance until the night is over
