She asked me where I was from, I said somewhere you've never been to
Little town outside of Knoxville, heading 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"
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
