- Description
“Maples“ is not just a song, it is an attitude to life. Inspi- red by the venue of the same name, where line dancing, music and community coincide.
“Maples” captures the spirit of a typical Friday night. The verses are quoting legendary songs by country music greats such as Johnny Cash, Emmylou Harris, Brad Paisley, Alison Krauss, Dolly Parton or Clint Black. It’s a musical patchwork of classic tunes that fans will instantly recognise- artfully woven into a new story full of heart and familiar magic.
The chorus invites all: “We’re going to Maples every weekend – dancing makes us feel alive”. A beat you want to clap to, a melo- dy you want to sing along with, and the heart makes you want to to dance. From Western romanticism, whiskey -lullabies to coun- try roads, Maples tells the story of longing, freedom, together- ness and of a place where you can just be. Whether your’re a sea- soned line dancer or a novice, Maples brings everyone together. Line up, let go, join the ride – it’s time to dance!Maples (Lyrics - © Marco Meniconi/Paul Etterlin 2025)
Sally’s driving home from doing 9 to 5
Joey’s killing time he knows there’s more to life
Than 16th Avenue
That’s just the way it isFeel those country roads they’re gonna take you home
Mama tried to tell me you won’t be alone
Tonight I walk the line
That’s just what I needNo time to lose chasing the blues
Let’s all be dancing tonightWe’re going to Maples every weekend
Dancing makes us feel alive
Let’s go to Maples take your best friend
Won’t you come and join the lineAll the way from Frisco down to Santa Cruz
We all know that even cowgirls get the blues
I hope you dance tonight
It’s just what I needKeep on pouring, I’m no stranger to the rain
Wagon wheels are turning take away the pain
A whiskey lullaby
That’s what I needNo time to lose chasing the blues
Let’s all be dancing tonightWe’re going to Maples every weekend
Dancing makes us feel alive
Let’s go to Maples take your best friend
Won’t you come and join the lineNo time to lose chasing the blues
Let’s all be dancing tonightit’s not a long road down to Maples
Easy if you know the line
We’re in the lime light down at Maples
Easy we will show you howWe’re going to Maples every weekend
Dancing makes us feel alive
Let’s go to Maples take your best friend
Won’t you come and join the lineit’s not a long road down to Maples
