   E

1.      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 and smoke,

                                                                                  E

   it's where all the country folk go to boot scootin' boogie.

 

            E

2. 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

Cadillac, black jack, baby, meet me outback, we're gonna boogie.

       B7                                                                          E

Oh, get down, turn around, go to town, boot scootin' boogie.

2. 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 outlaws, inlaws, crooks & straights, all out makin' it shake,

                                          E

    doin' the boot scootin' boogie.   + CHORUS (2x) + last line 2x + A - E
