Progressive Alternative Country Rock from Deep in the Heart of Texas.
is a place where the sign reads, "No Boots Required".
Story behind the song
I was at Billy Bob's (Largest Texas Honky Tonk and home to Willie Nelson's 4th of July picnic) watching an older couple dance. They were wanting for the DJ to spin a song with the right tempo and when he did... they tore it up.
Lyrics
SADDLE UP!!!
Been mopin' around, wearin' a frown, it may suit you
Feet on the ground, settlin' down, didn't used to
This rigmarole, our pace has slowed, since we've married
Lines we tow, show, they’re never varied
Hell we raised, younger ways, friends called us spastic
We lived in a haze for days, the change is drastic
I drive a mini-van; my long hair is now a buzz
You say, "closin' the bar is "au revoir", stupid is… stupid does"
*Something’s gotta give; we've forgotten how to live*
Saddle Up!!! Put on your red dress...
Tonight!!! , I’m accepting no less...
My beautiful wife, I’d, suggest we get a move on
We’ve worlds to collide let’s get our groove on
Put on your boots, we’ll scoot, to a little Kix and Dunn
I’ve got the front door, let’s high tail and run
*Revisit the past, come on darlin’, I’m fadin’ fast*
Saddle Up!!! Put on your red dress...
Tonight!!! , I’m accepting no less...
-Saddle up girl, don’t gimme no mess-
Sure, there’s nothing, nothin' we could’ve missed
But, we deserve a real wild time
We’re at the point, where we just exist
Without reason or rhyme
Granted we're growin' older and supposed to be gettin' wise
But, playin' safe is too much to shoulder, try it on for size...
Saddle Up!!! Put on your red dress...
Tonight!!! , I’m accepting no less...
Saddle Up!!! Put on your red dress...
Tonight!!! I’m accepting no less...
-Saddle Up girl, don’t gimme no mess-
