Sand In My Boots

She asked me where I was from I said Somewhere you never been to Little town outside of Knoxville Headin' 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 Wings on the beach Yeah but now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado Like a heart-broke Desperado headin' right back to my roots Somethin' 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 cowboy's drink whiskey huh 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 dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado Like a heart-broke Desperado headin' right back to my roots Somethin' 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 mornin' And she told me I was crazy Yeah but I still thought that maybe she'd show up Ah but now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado Like a heart-broke Desperado headin' right back to my roots Somethin' 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
