The bad news is that on the 4th repetition there are only 56 counts. It’s easy to hear as it happens on an instrumental section.
Rather than add a whole new 8 count sequence I have simply changed a couple of steps in the regular choreography:
1/4R SHUFFLE FWD RLR, FWD L, 1/2 PIVOT R, FWD L, ROCK FWD R, 1/4L REPLACE BACK L, TOUCH R
49,&,50Make 1/4 turn right and shuffle forward Right, Left, Right

53,54Step forward Left, rock-step forward Right
55,56Making 1/4 turn left rock-replace weight back onto Left, touch Right beside Left

Unusually for me I wrote this dance for another piece of music, but it always bugged me that there were already quite a few dances out to the song and even though I really like the music the dance never seemed quite right.
Because it is to be the last dance I write I went back to my list of songs and tried again.
This song had been on the original list and after a few changes to the original choreography I think I am happier with the result and as a bonus it has a real country sound - only took me two months!
I never really plan the direction my dances will move in, they just evolve. I dance to the music and if it feels good I write it down, I just try to plan them so they stay reasonably centered - this dance moves almost entirely side to side so not a good idea to start close to the side walls.
Definitely the last, hope you like it.
