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
