Boots On Tilt

Met her by the bar door

boots on, hair done right

Took her out that broken glass city 4 1 9 heat

made her want to move all night

Red on her mouth, black on her lashes

now it’s streaks on the glass

She grin when she caught her face

said, “boy, you do me bad”

I got that saddle swing

I got that slow-burn grin

She grab my belt buckle

then she pulled me back in

Floor got dust in circles

from the heels on her feet

Now she lean to the left

like the whole room deep

Hold up, baby, don’t you quit

spin it once, let it hit

Tie that fringe up in the wind

we gon’ ride out, thick and thin

Boots on her floor

hair all wild

Boots on her floor

lost that smile

Lipstick gone

maskara rain

Boots on her floor

feel that strain

(boots on her floor)

(boots on her floor)

Took her through the back road

moonlight on the chrome

She laughing with her head back

ain’t nobody going home

White dress twisted up

from the dance and the drive

She say, “I like it rough”

when the bass line alive

County line, fence post

mud on the side of the tire

She came in like a queen

left looking like a fire

Pulled up clean in the mud

Boots on, buckle all gold

You in my truck bench seat

Lipstick on the cold roll

Mascara black on your cheek

Hair loose in a wild storm

You looked at me like trouble

I said, baby, come on

You got that sweet little grin

Then you bit down on your lip

One hand on my shoulder

Now your whole frame got that dip

Hold on tight

We gon' ride all night

Dust on the glass

And your eyes too bright

Say my name

Let it break, let it shake

When I pull you close

Girl, you gone go fake

Boots on tilt

Hair all wild

Boots on tilt

You got that outlaw style

Mess up fast

Then smile that way

Boots on tilt

Make that whole room sway

Boots on tilt

Hair all wild

Boots on tilt

You got that outlaw style

Lipstick smeared

And the floor all heat

Boots on tilt

Girl, you move like heat

Got you laughing in the rearview

Red smudge on your cup

Tangled hair in the midnight

You keep on acting up

Spur line glint on my belt

Your hands all over my shirt

You lean in like a secret

Then you make the whole world hurt

Sideways step in the lane

Got that wild horse shake

I said, baby, take it easy

You said, no, I like it this way

Hold on tight

We gon' ride all night

Dust on the glass

And your eyes too bright

Say my name

Hold up, baby, don’t you quit

spin it once, let it hit

Tie that fringe up in the wind

we gon’ ride out, thick and thin

Boots on her floor

hair all wild

Boots on her floor

lost that smile

Lipstick gone

maskara rain

Boots on her floor

feel that strain

(boots on her floor)

(boots on her floor)

Now she talk that drawl

while she catching her breath

Said, “boy, you a mess”

with her head on my chest

Got her name on my tongue

like a prayer in the dark

Then we rode that rush

right out past the yard

Boots on her floor

hair all wild

Boots on her floor

lost that smile

Lipstick gone

maskara rain

Boots on her floor

feel that strain

(boots on her floor)

(boots on her floor)
