Knockin' Boots

(album: Born Here Live Here Die Here - 2020)

This truck needs a half tank
These wheels need a two-lane
This radio needs three songs to play
To get me 'cross town to you
That dress needs to slip off
That hair needs to come down
Friday nights need to do
What Friday nights need to do
That's the truth

Yeah, birds need bees and ice needs whiskey
Boys like me need girls like you to kiss me
"Fishing in the Dark" needs Nitty Gritty
Under that pale moon
Sweet tea needs that sugar stirring
Small town nights need both ends burning
Shades need drawing, hearts need falling
Boots need knocking, knocking boots
Knocking boots, me and you, oh

Long weeks need a weekend
Cheap drinks need a-slinging
That dance floor needs some me on you
And you on me tonight
Singalongs need to be sung
Tip bells need to be rung
Last calls need a "Call that cab"
And backseats need "I want you so bad"

Yeah, birds need bees and ice needs whiskey
Boys like me need the girls like you to kiss me
"Fishing in the Dark" needs Nitty Gritty
Under that pale moon
Sweet tea needs that sugar stirring
Small town nights need both ends burning
Shades need drawing, hearts need falling
Boots need knocking, knocking boots
Knocking boots, girl, me and you

Doors need shutting
Lights need cutting
Lips need locking
Boots need knocking

And birds need bees and ice needs whiskey
Boys like me need girls like you to kiss me
"Fishing in the Dark" needs Nitty Gritty
Under that pale moon
Sweet tea needs that sugar stirring
Small town nights need both ends burning
Shades need drawing, hearts need falling
Boots need knocking, knocking boots
Mm, knocking boots, me and you, oh
Knocking boots
