Boots on the Beat (versione 2)

Verse

Truck bed rattling, gravel road hum

Porch light swinging where the moths come

Cold can sweating in my right hand

Screen door slamming like a one-man band

Dust on my collar, sun in my eyes

Summer's got a hold and it won't say goodbye

Pre-Chorus

So how do you keep a firefly lit

How do you bottle up a night like this

Tell me how, tell me how

Chorus

I got my boots on the beat

Gravel dust under my feet

Holding this feeling so it never leaves

Every stomp, every clap, I'm keeping time with me

This is the one I don't wanna lose

So I'm dancing in my worn-out shoes

Boots on the beat, boots on the beat

Won't let it go, won't let it go, no

Verse

Cousins hollering, tailgate ringing

Old radio's half out of singing

Sparklers writing words in the dark

Fireflies blinking like a heartbeat spark

Grandma's laughing at the joke again

Same one she tells every now and then

Pre-Chorus

So how do you keep a firefly lit

How do you bottle up a night like this

Tell me how, tell me how

Chorus

I got my boots on the beat

Gravel dust under my feet

Holding this feeling so it never leaves

Every stomp, every clap, I'm keeping time with me

This is the one I don't wanna lose

So I'm dancing in my worn-out shoes

Boots on the beat, boots on the beat

Won't let it go, won't let it go, no

Bridge

Years from now when the porch light's gone

I'll still hear this same old song

One stomp, one clap, right here, right now

That's how you hold a memory, that's how

Chorus

I got my boots on the beat

Gravel dust under my feet

Holding this feeling so it never leaves

Every stomp, every clap, I'm keeping time with me

This is the one I don't wanna lose

So I'm dancing in my worn-out shoes

Boots on the beat, boots on the beat

Won't let it go, won't let it go, no

Outro

Boots on the beat

Right here, right now

This one's mine to keep
