Step On His Boots

(album: Ahead Of Our Time - 2023)

A girl like you's gotta have some guy in the picture
But he ain't with you filling up
That glass that you left sip-sipping right now
I'm dying to find out
How the top-shelf taste coming off your lips
I know there's someone somewhere calling you his
But whoever he is, he ain't here spinning around

I don't mean to step on his boots, but I'm about to tonight
Cause I be kicking myself, girl
If I didn't try to make you more than a stranger
I met at a bar, let's get to breaking the ice
And get to breaking his heart
I don't see no ring weighing down your left hand
That's stealing my drink, saying, baby, let's dance
You're out of his world, he must be out of his mind
Girl, I don't mean to step on his boots, but I'm about to tonight

Leave his texts on read till your cell phone's dead in your pocket
Baby, let's keep talking till we turn that neon off
Thinking lost in some truck, a bit of radio sound
Hanging round for a parking lot after party
Sorry, not sorry, girl

I don't mean to step on his boots, but I'm about to tonight
Cause I be kicking myself, girl
If I didn't try to make you more than a stranger
I met at a bar, let's get to breaking the ice
And get to breaking his heart
I don't see no ring weighing down your left hand
That's stealing my drink, saying, baby, let's dance
You're out of his world, he must be out of his mind
Girl, I don't mean to step on his boots, but I'm about to tonight
I'm about to tonight

I be falling for real gold
I hope he's got on steel toes

I don't mean to step on his boots, but I'm about to tonight
Cause I be kicking myself, girl
If I didn't try to make you more than a stranger
I met at a bar, let's get to breaking the ice
And get to breaking his heart
I don't see no ring weighing down your left hand
That's stealing my drink, saying, baby, let's dance
You're out of his world, he must be out of his mind
Girl, I don't mean to step on his boots, but I'm about to tonight

But I'm about to tonight
But I'm about to tonight
