Out in the country
Past the city limits sign
Well there's a honky tonk
Near the county line
The joint starts jumpin' every night
When the sun goes down
They got whiskey women music and smoke
It's where all the cowboy folk
Go to boot scootin' boogie
I've got a good job
I work hard for my money
When it's quittin time I hit the door runnin'
I fire up my pickup truck
And let the horses run
I go flyin' down the highway
to that hideaway
Stuck out in the woods
To do the boot scootin boogie
Chorus:
Yeah heel toe do si do
Come on baby let's go boot scootin'
Oh Cadillac Blackjack baby meet me out back
We're gonna boogie
Oh, get down, turn around, go to town
Boot scootin' boogie
The bartender asks me says son what'll it be
I want a shot at that redhead yonder lookin' at me
The dance floors hoppin' & it's hotter than the fourth of July
I see outlaws, inlaws crooks & straights all out makin' it shake
Doin' the boot scootin' boogie
ChorusYou might tell me to mind my business
But I've been watchin' and I've been a witness
To the things you do and say and the games you play
You better start cutting the man some slack
Or he's gonna leave and he won't be back
One day you're gonna chase him away
If you keep on yankin' that chain
Honey, if I was in your shoes
I tell you what I would do
(Chorus)
If I had a love like that
A real fine love like that
I'd be treatin' him right
And never do him any wrong
If you're gonna do like that
With a good love like that
Sister, just like that you're gonna wake up
And find him gone
That man you've got is crazy about you
He wants to build his world around you
There's nothin' that he won't do will satisfy you
But I see you flirtin'
Shakin' your skirt and one of these days
You're gonna hurt him
Gonna push him just a little too far
And break a good man's heart
Before you go and loose it all
Here's a little wake up call
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
Sister, just like that you're gonna wake up
And find him gone
