Sand In My Boots (Apple Music Sessions)

She asked me where I was from

I said, "Somewhere you've never been to

Little town outside of Knoxville"

Hidden by some dogwood trees

She tried talking with my accent

We held hands and waded into

That blue water

She left her flip-flops by my Red Wings on the beach

Yeah, but now I'm dodging potholes

In my sunburnt Silverado

Like a heart broke desperado

Headed right back to my roots

Something 'bout the way she kissed me

Tells me she'd love eastern Tennessee

Yeah, but all I brought back with me

Was some sand in my boots

I said, "Let's go shoot tequila"

So we walked back to that beach bar

She said, "Don't cowboys drink whiskey?"

So we drank bottom shelf

She said, "Damn, that sky looks perfect"

I said, "Girl, you've never seen stars

Like the ones back home", she said

"Maybe I should see 'em for myself"

Yeah, but now I'm dodging potholes

In my sunburnt Silverado

Like a heart broke desperado

Headed right back to my roots

Something 'bout the way she kissed me

Tells me she'd love Eastern Tennessee

Yeah, but all I brought back with me

Was some sand in my boots

Oh, oh, sand in my boots

Ooh, yeah

I said, "Meet me in the morning"

She told me I was crazy

But I still thought that maybe she'd show up

But now I'm dodging potholes

In my sunburnt Silverado

Like a heart broke desperado

Headed right back to my roots

Something 'bout the way she kissed me

Tells me she'd love Eastern Tennessee

Yeah, but all I brought back with me

Was some sand in my boots

Yeah, but all I brought back with me

Was some sand in my boots
