Boot Scootin' Boogie - Brooks & Dunn - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Country duo Brooks & Dunn slipped on their cowboy boots and headed to the honky-tonk for this rootin' tootin' barroom piano number from 1991 – a cover version of the song first recorded by the band Asleep at the Wheel for their 1990 album, Keepin' Me Up Nights. "Boot Scootin' Boogie" pays tribute to the titular line dance found in country bars. "Out in the country past the city limits sign / Well there's a honky-tonk near the county line / The joint starts jumpin' every night when the sun goes down / They got whiskey, women, music, and smoke / It's where all the cowboy folk go to boot-scootin' boogie," hollers singer Kix Brooks in the opening verse. The song is an unashamed ode to working hard and living for the weekend, with declarations like "I've got a good job, I work hard for my money / When it's quittin' time I hit the door runnin' / I fire up my pickup truck and let the horses run / I go flyin' down that highway to that hide-a-way."
