Out in the country Past the city limits sign Well there's a honky-tonk Near the county line The joint starts hoppin 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 pick-up truck And let the horses run I go flyin' down that highway To that hide-a-way Stuck out in the woods To do the boot scootin' boogie [02:08.78 [02:11.68 [02:16.65 [02:20.89 [02:53.23 [02:57.91 The bartender asks me Says, "Son what'll 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 outlaws, inlaws, crooks and straights All out makin' it shake Doin' the boot scootin' boogie
