Lyrics
Well hey there, y'all! Now I was raised proper - yes ma'am, no sir, mind your manners and all that. But sometimes a Texas girl's gotta kick off those Sunday shoes and put on her dancing boots! This here's about the night I stopped being a wallflower and started being a wildflower! Y'all ready to dance?
Always sat up in the church pew straight
Never stayed out past half past eight
Daddy said "sugar, you're sweet as pie"
But I had fire burning deep inside
Watched all the rebels from across the room
While I stayed home on a Saturday June
But that old jukebox was calling my name
Time to quit playing the good girl game
Got my boots made for dancing, not for sitting still
Got my heart made for chances, gonna chase that thrill
Tired of being precious like some china doll
Got my boots made for dancing, gonna risk it all
You were trouble in your Wranglers tight
Cowboy hat tilted just right
Every mama in town said "stay away"
But honey, that just made me want to play
So I walked right up to where you stood
Said "darlin', let's be up to no good"
Took your hand and pulled you to the floor
Ain't the same sweet girl I was before
Mama always said "good things come to those who wait"
But waiting's overrated when you're feeling great
Now I know what I was missing all those quiet nights
Sometimes wrong feels so damn right
Got my boots made for dancing, and I'm dancing now
Got my heart made for chances, and I'm taking vows
To quit being precious like some china doll
Got my boots made for dancing, y'all
Yeah, I'm dancing, y'all
Well, I reckon sometimes you gotta break your own rules to find out who you really are.
And these boots? They were definitely made for dancing!
