E
go to boot scoot boogie, I gotta good job I work hard for my money when its
A
quittin time I hit the door runnin, I fire up my pickup truck and let the
E B
horses run, I go flyin down that highway to that hide-away stuck out in the
E
woods to do the boot scoot boogie
CHORUS
E A E A

Bartender asks me says son what'll be I want a shot of that red-head yonder
