Sand In My Boots

She asked me where I's 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 heartbroke 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", and she said

"Maybe I should see 'em for myself"

Yeah, but now I'm dodging potholes

In my sunburnt Silverado

Like a heartbroke 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, "Meet me in the morning"

And she told me I was crazy

Yeah, but I still thought that maybe she'd show up

Oh, but now I'm dodging potholes

In my sunburnt Silverado

Like a heartbroke 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
