Old Boots, New Dirt

I knew the minute that I picked you up
It was gonna be a wild ride
You kissed me like you couldn’t get enough
Barely made it out of your drive
Burn a little rubber at the red light
Got a little warnin’ from the blue lights
It’s only going on 9 o’clock but
Feels more like midnight

CHORUS
We ain’t even turned up the radio
Ain’t been two miles down the road
The way you look at me baby I don’t know
If we even gonna make it to the party
Yeah we got a whole lotta moonlight left
Already havin’ the time of our lives
And we just gettin’ started tonight

Girl you already got the window down
And you got your seat laid back
Ain’t even made it halfway to town
And you’re already talkin’ ‘bout a six pack
Already got your shoes off
And you’re talkin’ ‘bout slippin’ off
Nah we ain’t even found your friends
And you already wanna get lost

CHORUS

Ain’t had a drink and I’m tore up
Ain’t even had a taste of your love
Girl the crazy thing is
We just gettin’ warmed up

CHORUS

And we just gettin’ started tonight

We can go around club hoppin’
Tell you all I wanna do is drop in
Have a drink and catch a good band
Couple songs, and hey we’re gone again
Act like that’s all we’re doin’
The truth is

CHORUS
I just wanna show you off
Drive ‘em all crazy
Watch all them boys hate me
Is that so wrong, come on
I just want the world to see
How lucky I am
You’re so fine girl, damn
You beat all I ever saw
I just wanna show you off

Maybe take a ride down Broadway
All the Dodges and the Fords and the Chevrolets
Slow rollin’, lookin’ over and
Girl you got that super-cab glowin’
Roll down that tinted window
There ya go

CHORUS

It might look like we’re just cruisin’
The truth is
The truth is

CHORUS

I just wanna show you off

You slip your finger, through the tear in my t-shirt
You stirrin’ up dirty in the back of my mind
You keep on flirtin’ cause you know that it’s workin’
You stuck in my head girl writin’ the lines
Couldn’t sing this song without you if I tried
Let’s light it up like it’s our last night

CHORUS
We’re just hangin’ around
Burnin’ it down
Sippin’ on some cold Jack Daniel’s
Jammin’ to some old Alabama with you baby
Laying right here, naked in my bed
I’m just doing my thing you love it when I sing
Say it makes you feel like an angel
We about to get a little tangled up right about now
So girl let’s keep burnin’ it down
Burnin’ it down, Burnin’ it down

Girl when you want it, you know that I’m on it
You know that I love lovin’ up on you
Let’s hit the switch and let our shadows dance
And light it up like it’s our last chance

We’re just hangin’ around
Burnin’ it down
Sippin’ on some cold Jack Daniel’s
Jammin’ to some old Alabama with you baby
Laying right here, dreamin’ in my bed
I’m just doing my thing you love it when I sing
Say it makes you feel like an angel
We about to get a little tangled up right about now
So girl let’s keep burnin’ it down

Burnin’ it down, Burnin’ it down, Burnin’ it down
Burnin’ it down, Burnin’ it down, Burnin’ it down

I wanna rock it all night
Baby girl will you rock it out with me
I wanna crawl through the dark
Just to feel your heart beat against me
(TWICE)

CHORUS

Burnin’ it down
Burnin’ it down, Burnin’ it down, Burnin’ it down

I wanna rock it all night
Baby girl will you rock it out with me
I wanna crawl through the dark
Just to feel your heart beat against me

I thought you were just bein’ a girl
The kind that just wants to change me
And likes to fight all night long

Thought I had you figured out
I told myself she’s crazy
Man was I ever wrong
The whole time you were just tryin’ to love me

CHORUS
I pushed, you pulled, should’ve just fell into you
But I did what I always do, I always do
You wanted to talk but I walked away
Didn’t want to hear what you had to say
Stupid me I can’t believe I never knew
The whole time you were just tryin’ to love me

I didn’t think those tears were real
I thought you were just tryin’ to play me
I just stood there and let ‘em fall, ohh
You were just lovin’ me after all, ohhh

CHORUS

You wanted to talk but I walked away
Didn’t want to hear what you had to say
Stupid me I can’t believe I never knew, I never knew
The whole time you were just tryin’
The whole time you were just tryin’ to love me
Tryin’ to love me

Just what I had in mind thinkin’ ‘bout the weekend
Standin’ by the Yeti with the party lights plugged in
Got a jug of feel good goin’ around
There’s just one thing missin’ baby right about now

CHORUS
I need a sweet little somethin’ like you got
Standin’ there red hot tied up little tank top
Lookin’ like you must be straight out of the country
Honey what I wouldn’t do for a sweet little somethin’ like you

I see you dancin’ over there with your girlfriends
Got your fine self showin’ off that suntan
You keep smilin’ that smile at me
Like you’re readin’ my mind and you know

CHORUS

I need a sweet little somethin’ like you girl, slidin’ into my world
Yeah I’ve been needin’ me an all night slow kinda just right
Honeysuckle sweet little somethin’

I need a sweet little somethin’ like you got
Standin’ there red hot tied up little tank top
Lookin’ like you must be straight out of the country
Honey what I wouldn’t do for a sweet little somethin’

Sweet little somethin’ like you got
Standin’ there red hot tied up little tank top
Lookin’ like you must be straight out of the country
Honey what I wouldn’t do for a sweet little somethin’ like you

I wanna ride you around in my old truck
Keep you out ‘til the sun comes up
Girl you got some serious sweet little somethin’ like you
The way you’re slidin’ in across that seat
Lookin’ so damn good to me
Hey little girl right now I need a sweet little somethin’ like you
I wanna ride you around in my old truck
Keep you out ‘til the sun comes up
Girl you got that serious sweet little somethin’ like you
The way you’re slidin’ in across that seat
Lookin’ so damn good to me
Hey little girl right now I need a sweet little somethin’ like you

Got a headlight circle, Chevrolets, Saturday night and a riverbank
Silver bullets poppin’, got my speakers rockin’
A feel good song that’ll take you back, watchin’ them pretty girls work that
Baby shake it just right, I could do this all night

CHORUS
Out here way back workin’ on our laid back
Tell everyone you know
Sip it, tip it, pass it ‘round, let’s light up this two-lane town
Out here, way back, workin’ on our laid back

There’s no last call or closin’ time just good stuff passin’ left and right
Let that homemade hit ya, ya know I’ll be right there with ya
Dancin’ in the dust and half past gone, turn it on up and sing along
Don’t matter whatcha got playin’, wanna see your body swayin’

CHORUS

Out here way back you can feel that country high
Out here way back you can do what you wanna do tonight

Out here way back workin’ on our laid back
Tell everyone you know
Sip it, tip it, pass it ‘round, let’s light up this two-lane town
Out here, way back

CHORUS

You ain’t got a dress that I don’t like
You ain’t got a pair of jeans that don’t fit you just right
There’s not a minute in the day
That you don’t knock me out, you don’t blow me away
But girl now that the sun’s gone down
Whoa Oh lookin’ at you right here and now baby

CHORUS
Somethin’ ‘bout that southern sky
Sittin’ back behind that moon
It goes perfect with your eyes
Girl tonight looks good on you
Somethin’ ‘bout the way you’re smiling
Makin’ them stars fall right on cue
I just gotta tell you baby
Tonight looks good on you

I can taste the midnight on your lips
Makes me just wanna lean in for another kiss
Wind blowin’ your hair around
Girl it makes me wanna lay you down
You’ve been beautiful a million times
But I’ve never seen you look like this, no

CHORUS

Looks so good on your skin
I don’t ever no I never I don’t ever, ever want it to end
Baby

CHORUS

Tonight looks good on you
I just gotta tell you baby
You look good at the party good at the bar
Somethin’ ‘bout underneath these stars
You look good at the house good in the car
You lookin’ so good anywhere you are
Tonight, tonight looks good on you
Tonight looks good on you
I just gotta tell you baby, yeah

I wanna be the man that you thought I was
I wanna be the man that made you fall in love
I can’t undo everything I’ve done
But let me tell you right now
Baby you’re the only one

CHORUS
I don’t want to be a restless soul
Runnin’ on empty burnin’ up the road
Never knowin’ what I’m tryin’ to find
While the wheels keep turnin’ in the back of my mind
I don’t wanna take the long way home
Sleepin’ in a road side room alone
Head in the clouds foot on the gas
Livin’ my life too fast

I’ve been makin’ a livin’ not makin’ a life
And knowin’ that now well it cuts like a knife
The way it’s been ain’t how it’s gonna be
Baby startin’ right now
Gonna give you the best of me

CHORUS

Ooo, I’ve been a rollin’ stone
I think it’s time for me to roll on home

CHORUS

Livin’ my life too fast

Twelve gauge ’04 buckshot floorboard, don’t ask
Fence post door dent
Let’s just leave it at that
It’s got dirt on me
Yeah I’d be up a creek

CHORUS
If my truck could talk
I’d have to yank out all the wires
Pour on the gas set it on fire
Anything to shut it up
It’s been good to me
But it knows too much it’s seen it all
I’d have to find a riverbank and roll it off
If my truck could talk

Those two headlights looked in her eyes, while she danced
Moonlit truck bed two kids enough said, yeah man
All that went on those all night longs
It could go on and on and on

CHORUS

If my truck could talk
I couldn’t deny a word it said
I’d just smile and shake my head yeah
It’s been good to me
But it knows too much it’s seen it all
I’d have to find a riverbank and roll it off
If my truck could talk
If my truck could talk
If my truck could talk

A cup of coffee from a waitress I ain’t ever met
She asked, “Are you just passin’ through?” I smile and said
“I don’t know yet”
I walked around the town square
Down the street to where
I met the preacher and the old courthouse men
Yeah nothin’ helps you start again…like

CHORUS
Old boots, new dirt
No reminders
I got a feelin’ this town’ll get me over her
When you’ve been through what I’ve been through man
Nothin’ feels better than
Old boots, new dirt

There’s a thousand faces I ain’t seen before
The only history that I can see is from the civil war
It’s good for me to look around
And go down roads she ain’t been down
No memories of our used to be’s
Set me free

CHORUS

Old boots, new dirt
One step closer
Yeah I think I’m gonna like it here, yeah

When you’ve been through what I’ve been through man
Nothin’ feels better than
Nothin’ helps you start again like
Old boots, new dirt
Old boots, new dirt
Old boots and new dirt

When I passed that city limits sign
I knew that I was finally on my own
So I put my foot down on the gas
To see how fast those wheels could get me gone
Everything about that place made me who I am
They say once you leave
You can’t go back again

CHORUS
So I took it with me
That cloud of red dust rollin’ up
That Georgia blue sky settin’ sun
Straight up Highway 41
I took it with me
That wild streak
That fightin’ side
That born to run on Friday night
That standing tall small town pride
I took it with me

Well they say this world can change you fast
Kick you right on back where you belong
So I roll my sleeves up everyday
And that’s just what you do where I come from
Everything I ever knew I bottled up inside
When I need a shot of back home
It ain’t hard to find

CHORUS

I might be a thousand miles away
But it’s still crystal clear
I see that picture in my mind
And I keep it right here
‘Cause

CHORUS

I took it with me
I took it with me

I can keep on changin’ the song
Keep on changin’ stations
‘Til I finally land on one
I don’t mind if they keep playin’
Take a different road through town
Find another way around
Change it up
Really shake it up
Yeah I’m tryin’ but

CHORUS
It don’t change gone
Won’t bring her back
She’s moved on
And I’m stuck with that
I could change
Whatever I want
But it don’t change gone

I could keep on hangin’ around
But I don’t see me stayin’
Strike a match and burn it down
Walk out and leave it layin’
Don’t think about a thing
Just drive
Far enough ‘til I find
A change of scene
A new routine
I’ll try anything, but

CHORUS

Taillights fadin’
Not once breakin’
She’s gone

Yeah I could change
Whatever I want
But it don’t change gone
No it don’t change gone

I found her silver bracelet in my backseat
The night she left, it seems like yesterday
It’s like I found a treasure when I held it
How could I have ever let her get away

I still got a faded picture on my rearview
It’s almost like she’s lookin’ right at me
And somehow just like that it all comes rushin’ back
And she’s right here, the way it used to be
Yeah

CHORUS
I miss that girl
Knowin’ they’ll never be another one like her
Not like her
I’m kickin’ myself for ever lettin’ her slip out of my world
I just miss that girl

Way back then it felt like I had things together
Whenever she’d come smilin’ through that door
But I’ve had one or two tonight and it just makes me realize
That I ain’t so together anymore, and why

CHORUS

Yeah I miss that girl
Yeah

CHORUS

I miss that girl

You got the gas, I got the matches
We’re gonna turn this town to ashes
‘Cause they ain’t never seen nothin’ like us
Ain’t heard loud ‘til we turn it up
I got the wild, you got the crazy
You know that’s why I love you, baby
‘Cause your motor runs just as fast as mine
Pedal to the metal, keep the throttle down all night
And we only get one life

CHORUS
Ain’t scared to ride this train
Make a few marks, leave a few stains
Might slam just a little too hard
Might take it just a little too far
Might burn out like a firework
Like a shootin’ star across the sky
Yeah, we may not be around in twenty years
But they’re sure gonna know we were here

Yeah, they’re sure gonna know we were here

People talk, girl, you know damn well
When they got a good tale to tell
Let’s give ‘em somethin’ they ain’t never seen
A little rated R redneck dream
Let’s blaze a trail through the dirty south
Give ‘em somethin’ they can talk about
A little story that they won’t forget
Long after we ride off into the sunset, baby
‘Cause we ain’t dead yet, baby

CHORUS

We only get one chance around
This runaway roller coaster train
And it ain’t slowin’ down
So baby they’re gonna remember our names

Ain’t scared to ride this train
Make a few marks, leave a few stains
Might slam just a little too hard
Might take it just a little too far
Might burn out like a firework
Like a shootin’ star across the sky
Yeah, we may not be around in twenty years
No, we may not be around in twenty years
But they’re sure gonna know we were here
Yeah, they’re sure gonna know we were here

I just spent three nights in a two night town
Sun’s comin’ up and I’m just goin’ down
Am I ever gonna turn my life around
I just spent three nights in a two night town

It was women it was sinnin’ it was alcohol
It was everything the Bible says’ll make a man fall
And I didn’t want a little, Lord I wanted it all
It was women it was sinnin’ it was alcohol

CHORUS
When am I
Ever gonna learn to walk away
When the chips are down and the cards ain’t fallin’ my way
Why do I
Always gotta stay too long
‘Til it’s too late

I just spent three nights in a two night town
With a bunch of lost souls all tryin’ to get found
Girl I been a little crazy since you walked out
So I just spend three nights in a two night town, that’s right

CHORUS

I just spent three nights in a two night town
Sun’s coming up and I’m just goin’ down
But baby this pain’s still hangin’ around
I think I’ll spend four nights in a two night town
