Sand In My Boots

She asked me where I was from
I said "somewhere you 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
But now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado
Like a heart-broke Desperado heading right back to my roots
Something 'bout the way she kissed me tells me she loves 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 "d**n 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 dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado
Like a heart-broke Desperado heading right back to my roots
Something 'bout the way she kissed me tells me she loves 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 heart-broke Desperado heading right back to my roots
Something 'bout the way she kissed me tells me she loves 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
