lyrics
Getting off work, gonna hit the town
just as soon as that sun goes down
just a little drive, not far to go
bout a mile more, and I’m at the show
I’m looking for this gal I know
likes to swing out on the floor
here's hoping i can find a way
knock some boots til the break of day
Knockin boots (knocking boots!)
Knockin boots (knocking boots!)
The big ball’s in Cowtown,
we’re all getting down
Knockin boots (knocking boots!)
Knockin boots (knocking boots!)
Till the morning light comes shining bright
And we've long waltzed out of that neon light
Knockin' boots
I reached out and caught her hand
spun her round and made a fan
she spun me back, she spun me fast
pulled back her hand, she smacked my ass
I caught myself, she got me good
we fell right back into the groove
feet straight stomping on sweat damp wood
feels just like a dance floor should
Knockin' boots (knockin' boots!)
Knockin' boots (knockin' boots!)
The big ball’s in Cowtown,
we’re all getting down
Knockin boots (knocking boots!)
Knockin boots (knocking boots!)
Till the morning light comes shining bright
and we’ve long waltzed out of them neon lights
Knockin boots
We cradled left, she slid out right
rolled back in and we both held tight
eyes all bright with smoke stained light
the band kept playing and we felt alright
I pushed her out and spun her round
She pulled me in, my ear to her mouth
she said if you feel like i feel toots
than c'mon home, let’s knock some boots
Knockin boots (knocking boots!)
Knockin boots (knocking boots!)
The big ball’s in Cowtown,
we’re all getting down
Knockin boots (knocking boots!)
Knockin boots (knocking boots!)
So if you want to get along like me
knockin boots in your favorite key
it don’t come out of the blue
ya gotta ask someone to dance with you
Knockin boots
