  • 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 hide-a-way
    Stuck out in the woods
    To do the boot scootin' boogie

    Yeah, heel, toe, docie 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 floor's hoppin'
    And it's hotter than the Fourth of July
    I see outloaws, inlaws, crooks and straights
    All out makin' it shake
    Doin' the boot scootin' boogie

    Yeah, heel, toe, docie 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

  • Dave from Papua New GuineaCan't stop listening to this song
  • Jennifur Sun from RamonaHave a friend who used to dance to this song. Still trying to find out the band members names.
  • Karen from Manchester, NhThe dance mix was released on B&D's second album, "Brand New Man"...and it's terrible. I'll take the original, thank you very much.
  • Briar from Hazard, KyExcellent song and a good example of what REAL COUNTRY is supposed to sound like.
