Biography:
When you first hear Ryan Long sing, you feel as if you could sing right along with him. Even for those new to his music, his songs take you into a story so lyrically engaging and so detailed by chord and melody that by the end you believe his smooth baritone vocals are speaking to you alone. Long started playing guitar and writing songs at nineteen while studying engineering technology at East Tennessee State University. His great love of story songs was inspired by James Taylor and Garth Brooks

Verse 1:

There at the table my daughter and I

Where it is she wants to go

Dance with me Jen
Bm A G D
I'd love to feel you in my arms again
D G
Dance with me
D
Dance with me Jen
Bm A G D
I'd love to feel you in my arms again
Verse 2:
Several years later my daughter and I
Can't get along no matter how hard I try
She got herself a boyfriend who lives on down our road
His intentions, I don't know
So on her birthday that same year
I went and put on that music she loved to hear
Said girl it's your birthday don't wanna miss my chance
And asked you to dance
Chorus:
So I said dance with me
Dance with me Jen
I'd love to feel you in my arms again
Dance with me
Dance with me Jen
I'd love to feel you in my arms again
Bridge:
Bm F#m
She turned her head and grabbed her coat
G A
She didn't look back and she slammed the door
Verse 3:
Took a bus down to Texas with that boy down the road
Had no idea that he'd leave her there alone
She was drinking her freedom and weather in the cold
Too stuborn to come back home
She finally got a job at a night time club
She was dancing on tables for men she didn't love
She thought if my daddy could see me now
He'd never take me back no way, no how
And how she longed to hear him say
Chorus:
Dance with me
Dance with me Jen
I'd love to feel you in my arms again
Dance with me
Dance with me Jen
I'd love to feel you in my arms again
Verse 4:
Found out from her boyfriend who lived down the road
He left her in Texas and he moved back home
He had her address and I drove all night long
Just to fine that she was gone
It was 10 in the morning when I found out what she did
Left a note at the club, got in my car and drove home again
When she read it she cried alone
Hoped a bus and headed home
It was that note it read
Chorus:
Dance with me
Dance with me Jen
I'd love to feel you in my arms again
Dance with me
Dance with me Jen
I'd love to feel you in my arms again
