He asked me where I was from
I said somewhere you've never been to
A little town outside of Knoxville
Hidden by some dogwood trees
She tried talking with my accent
We held hands and waded into that blue water
She left her flip-flops by my right wing on the beach
Even now I'm dodging puddles
In my sunburned silver rider
Like a bird in the sky
Her heart broke desperado
Headed right back to my room
Something about the way she kissed me
Tells me she loved Eastern Tennessee
Yeah, but all I brought back with me
Was some sand in my boot
I said, let's go shoot tequila
So we walked back to that beach bar
She said, don't cowboys drink whiskey
So we drank bottom shelf
She said, damn, that sky looks perfect
I said, girl, you've never seen stars
Like the ones you see in the sky

Just back home
And she said, maybe I should see them for myself
But now I'm dodging puddles
In my sunburned silver rider
Like a bird in the sky
Headed right back to my room
Something about the way she kissed me
Tells me she loved Eastern Tennessee
Yeah, but all I brought back with me



Yeah, but all that brought back with me
was some sand in my boot
My boot
Said meet me in the morning
And she told me I was crazy
Yeah, I still thought that maybe she'd show up
Oh, but now I'm dodging potholes
In my sunburned Silverado
But her heart broke desperado
Had it right back to my roots
Something about the way she kissed me
Telled me she'd blow you away
And I'm in Eastern Tennessee
Yeah, but all that brought back with me
Yeah, but all that brought back with me
Yeah, but all that brought back with me
was some sand in my boot
My boot
My boot
My boot
My boot
My boot
My boot
My boot
My boot
