Music:

Peter Metelnick
32 Count, 4 Wall Line Dance, Intermediate Level
"Sin Wagon" by The Dixie Chicks from the CD Fly (start on vocals)
"I Want You To Want Me" by Jim Witter (start on vocals)

CHOREOGRAPHER'S NOTE: for the track Sin Wagon - in the middle of the song there is a spot where the beat ends, leaving just the vocals. Don't stop, just keep on dancing and the beat will kick back in. At the end of the song, the same thing happens - the beat ends but the vocals keep on. For a big finish, complete the first 8 counts and then stomp right foot forward and hold to end (you will be facing right side wall.) Enjoy!
