Start: 27 counts from first note
Choreographer’s note: The tags are 3-counts each and always the same; so please don’t let them deter you from doing the dance!
They are easily heard in the music--you won’t need to count walls. The same is true for the restart.

Tag: Repeat the last 3 counts of the dance: lunge R over L, recover onto L, touch R next to L.
Ending: On wall 8, facing front, complete Section A (6 counts) then step R to R side (pose if you wish).
Note: The version of the music sung by John Michael Montgomery will work, but the music fades out at
the end. The tags and restarts are the same (except, no last tag). The artist, Done Again, is preferred because
the song has an ending beat to which the dance was choreographed (see ending above).
