Glitter on My Boots

I got glitter on my boots and I'm not going home

Grew up on a gravel road in a county with one light
Sang on Sunday mornings and I prayed on Friday nights
Every boy in town was nice and every boy was fine
But I never felt a thing in any church or any line
Saved a little money from the drugstore after school
Packed a duffel bag and left a letter by the pool
Drove eleven hours with the windows rolled down
Found a place where nobody knew me in town

And the preacher said I'd burn
And the girls all said I'd fail
But the band is playing louder
Than the gossip in the mail

I got glitter on my boots and I'm not going home
Found a honky-tonk in Austin where I finally belong
Mama, I'm sorry, but I'm dancing tonight
I got glitter on my boots, and I'm all right

Spin, spin, spin
Spin, spin, spin

There's a cowboy with a sequin shirt who calls me by my name
There's a woman with a mustache and she's teaching me the game
Two-step, turn around, and now I'm spinning on the floor
I never felt so pretty, I never felt so sure
Daddy doesn't call me, but my sister sends a text
Says "I'm proud of you," and "what are you doing next"
I'm doing what I dreamed of when I stared at my ceiling
I'm finally feeling

And the preacher said I'd burn
And the girls all said I'd fail
But the band is playing louder
Than the gossip in the mail

I got glitter on my boots and I'm not going home
Found a honky-tonk in Austin where I finally belong
Mama, I'm sorry, but I'm dancing tonight
I got glitter on my boots, and I'm all right

Mama, if you drive down
There's a seat by the stage
I'll dedicate the next song
To the girl in her cage
Mama, if you drive down
Wear something that shines

I got glitter on my boots and I'm not going home
Found a honky-tonk in Austin where I finally belong
Mama, I'm sorry, but I'm dancing tonight
I got glitter on my boots, and I'm all right

I got glitter on my boots, and I'm all right
