Lindsey’s mom is friends with Jones and his family and has stayed in touch over the years. Last year she had a big favor of Jones -- if he would take Lyndsey to the dance. He said yes, and recently returned to Moulton, Alabama to fulfill the promise.

"Anything I can do to make some kids smile, I would be more than willing to do," Jones told WBRC. "i think the most fun was all of the guys. I showed the guys about five or six new dance moves."

"All of the guys followed me around all night and I was just glad I could dance and put smiles on the kids' faces," Jones told WBRC.
