E Out in the country past the city limits sign Well there's a honky tonk near the county line A E The joint starts jumpin every night when the sun goes down B7 They got whiskey, women, music & smoke E It's where all the country folk go to boot scootin' boogie E I've got a good job. I work hard for my money. When it's quittin time I hit the door runnin' A E I fire up my pickup truck & let the horses run B7 I go flyin' down that highway to that hide-a-way E Stuck out in the woods to do the boot scootin' boogie
A E Yeah, heel, toe, docie doe come on baby let's go boot scootin A E Oh, Cadillac black jack, baby meet me outback we're gonna boogie B7 E Oh get down, turn around go to town boot scootin' boogie E The bartender asks me says son, ?What'll it be?? I want a shot at that redhead yonder lookin' at me. A E The dance floors hoppin & it's hotter than the Fourth of July B7 I see out-laws, in-laws crooks & straights all out makin' it shake E Doin' the boot scootin' boogie
