[E] Out in the country past the city limits sign 

Well there's a honky tonk near the county line 

The  

[A] joint starts jumpin everynight 

when the sun goes  

[E] down 

They got  

[B] whiskey women music & smoke 

It's where all the country folk go to 

[A] boot  

[G] scootin'  

[E] boogie 

 

I've got a good job I work hard for my money 

When it's quittin time I hit the door runnin' 

I fire up my pickup truck & let the horses run 

I go flyin' down that highway to that hide-a-way 

Stuck out in the woods to do the boot scootin' boogie 

Chorus 

[F#] Yeah  

[G]  

[Ab]  

[A] heel, toe, docie doe come on baby 

let's go boot  

[E] scootin 

[A] Cadilac black jack, baby meet me outback 

we're gonna  

[E] boogie 

Oh  

[B] get down, turn around go to town 

[A] boot  

[G] scootin'  

[E] boogie 

Instrumental 

The bartender asks me says son what'll it be 

I want a shot at that redhead yonder lookin' at me 

The dance floors hoppin & it's hotter than the fourth of July 

I see outlaws, inlaws crooks & straights all out makin' it shake 

Doin' the boot scootin' boogie 

Chorus x 2 

I said  

[B] get down, turn around go to town 

[A] boot  

[G] scootin'  

[E] boogie 

Oh  

[B] get down, turn around go to town 

[A] boot  

[G] scootin'  

[E] boogie
