(Please note that the music for the original Eagles song, will be muted out on Youtube videos becoz of "music rights".

So for video purposes, I use the cover version sung by Diamond Rio and there's a shorter version sung by Bill Philips.)

**Restarts happens on Walls 5 and 9. Dance 24 counts and start over. (Instrumental part, both times.)

 

Optional - *"Bridge" - On Walls 3, 7 and 12, there's an obvious pause in the music. Leave out the last 3 steps by replacing them with Hold counts. On that count 5 on the last eight, you have your R Heel diagonally forward. Just hold for the last 3 counts. Or dance the whole dance as written and ignore the "bridge" as it still works fine. Happy dancing!
