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
