I'm gonna shine up my boots
I'm gonna go into town
I'm gonna scrape up twenty dollars
I'm gonna throw it around
I'm gonna buy me a dance first lovely lady that I see
And when our dance is through I'll say, will you marry me?
I'm gonna shine up my boots
I'm gonna go into town
I'm gonna scrape up twenty dollars
I'm gonna throw it around
I'm gonna find me a game of hold 'em if I can
And fold 'em all night long till I got me a hand
I'm gonna buy us a ranch with a Palomino herd
And I won't mean no harm, babe, and I won't say a word
When misery comes to call I give to him my life
I'll sit with him a while and share my horse, my hole, my wife
I'm gonna shine up my boots
I'm gonna go into town
I'm gonna scrape up twenty dollars
I'm gonna throw it around
I'm gonna buy me a dance first lovely lady that I see
And when our dance is through I'll say, will you marry me?
I'm gonna shine up my boots
I'm gonna go into town
I'm gonna scrape up twenty dollars
But I'll probably just drink it down
