Lyrics


5,6,7,8,


It's time to begin - now count it in......

5-6-7-8


( Chorus) My boot scootin' baby is drivin' me crazy

My obsession from a western - my dance floor date

My rodeo romeo, a cowboy god from head to toe

Wanna make you mine, betta get in line

5-6-7-8


Chorus


Foot kickin' - finger clickin', leather slapping - hand clappin'-

hip bumpin' - music thumpin' - knee hitchin' - heel and toe-

floor scuffin' - leg shufflin' - big grinnin' - body spinnin' -

rompin' stompin' - pumpin' jumpin' - slidin' glidin' - here we go


Chorus


Tush pushin' - thunder footin' - cowgirl twistin' - no resistin'

drums bangin' - steel twangin' - two steppin' - end to end

hardwood crawlin' - some four wallin' - rug cuttin' - cowboy struttin'

burnin' yearnin' - winding grinding - let's begin the dance again


Chorus


You're mine, all mine now bubba

Gonna rope you in - so count me in


5-6-7-8


Chorus
