COUNT: 32
TYPE: 4 Wall Line Dance
LEVEL: Advanced Beginner
MUSIC: Kissing Abilene Goodbye by Jesse Dayton-178 bpm ('Raisin' Cain'/New Country-February 1996)
	I Want To Be A Cowboys Sweetheart by LeAnn Rimes-131 bpm
	I Want To Be A Cowboys Sweetheart by Suzy Bogguss-131 bpm

Choreographer's note: The album is worth buying if only for the title track and the
brilliant 'Train of dreams' (depending on taste, of course). The first section of
this dance doesn't quite follow the 'normal' rules of step combinations which could
make your brain momentarily lose contact with your feet. Don't worry, you will soon
get the hang of it, I promise.

Dance starts on the vocals, with feet slightly apart and weight on left
