Sand In My Boots

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"

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

In my boots

Said, "Meet me in the morning"

And she told me I was crazy, yeah

I still thought that maybe she'd show up

Aw, 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

Yeah, but all I brought back with me

Yeah, but all I brought back with me

Was some sand in my boots

In my boots

In my boots, in my boots, in my boots, in my boots
