I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don’t matter to me
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there’s no place I want to be
I got heartaches in my pocket
I got echoes in my head
And all that I keep hearing
Are the cruel cruel things that you said
I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
Time don’t matter to me
‘Cause I'm a thousand miles from nowhere
And there’s no place I want to be
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I
I
Out in the country
Past the city limits sign
Well there’s a honky tonk
Near the county line
The joint starts jumpin’ every night
When the Sun goes down
They got whiskey, women music and smoke
It’s where all the cowboy folk
Go to boot scootin’ 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
And let the horses run
I go flyin’ down the highway
To that hide-a-way
Stuck out in the woods
To do the boot scootin’ boogie
Yeah, heel, toe, docie do
Come on baby, let’s go boot scootin’
Oh Cadillac, blackjack, baby meet me out back
We’re gonna boogie
Oh, get down, turn around, go to town
Boot scootin’ boogie
Yeah, heel, toe, docie do
Come on baby, let’s go boot scootin’
Oh Cadillac, blackjack, baby meet me out back
We’re gonna boogie
Oh, get down, turn around, go to town
Boot scootin’ boogie
Well if I had money
I’d tell you what I’d do
I go downtown buy a Mercury or two
Crazy bout a Mercury
Lord I'm crazy bout a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road
Well the girl I love
I stole her from a friend
He got lucky stole her back again
She heard he had a Mercury
Lord she’s crazy bout a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road
Hey now mama
You look so fine
Driven round in your Mercury 49'
Crazy bout a Mercury
Lord I'm crazy bout a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and tell you what I’d do
I go downtown buy a Mercury or two
Crazy bout a Mercury
Lord I'm crazy bout a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road
Well if I had money
I’d tell you what I’d do
I go downtown buy a Mercury or two
Crazy bout a Mercury
Lord I'm crazy bout a Mercury
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and cruise it up and down the road
I'm gonna buy me a Mercury and tell you what I’d do
