Lyrics
The Knights of Columbus hall is sweating through its pine.
It's the third Saturday in June, the air is piñon ash and Miller Lite.
My cousin Sarah's laughing, spinning in her wedding dress.
In about two more George Strait songs, she's gonna make me say yes.
[Chorus]
It's the Valencia Cadence, the two-beat family sigh.
The same damn shuffle in the bloodline we can't leave behind.
That high-desert rhythm, a gear that won't disengage.
Turning on the same old floor, turning on the same old page.
[Verse 2]

The same damn shuffle in the bloodline we can't leave behind.
That high-desert rhythm, a gear that won't disengage.
Turning on the same old floor, turning on the same old page.
[Bridge]
There's a road map of the I-40 in the lines around her eyes.
A different kind of engine knock you learn to recognize.
[Outro]
The Knights of Columbus hall is sweating through its pine.
And she's walking over now, her hand is reaching for mine.
