Sand In My Boots

She asked me where I was from
I said, "Somewhere you've never been to
A little town outside of Knoxville
Hidden by some dogwood trees"
She tried talkin' with my accent
We held hands and waded into
That blue water
She left her flip flops
By my Red Wing on the beach

Yeah, but now I'm dodgin' potholes
In my sunburned Silverado
Like a heart-broke Desperado
Headed right back to my roots
Somethin' 'bout the way she kissed me
Tells you 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 them for myself"

Yeah, but now I'm dodgin' potholes
In my sunburned Silverado
Like a heart-broke Desperado
Headed right back to my roots
Somethin' 'bout the way she kissed me
Tells you she'd love Eastern Tennessee
Yeah, but all I brought back with me
Was some sand in my boots
My boots

Said, "Meet me in the mornin'"
And she told me I was crazy, yeah
But I still thought that maybe
She'd show up

Oh, but now I'm dodgin' potholes
In my sunburned Silverado
Like a heart-broke Desperado
Headed right back to my roots
Somethin' 'bout the way she kissed me
Tells you 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

My boots
(In my boots, in my boots, in my boots, in my boots)
