About the song
If you’re a fan of classic country music, there’s a good chance you’ve heard the infectious tune of “Boot Scootin’ Boogie.” This upbeat, foot-tapping number has been a staple on country radio for decades, and for good reason. But there’s something truly special about George Strait’s rendition of this iconic song at the Brooks & Dunn ACM Last Rodeo.
Let’s dive into why this particular performance stands out. First, George Strait is, without a doubt, one of the greatest country music singers of all time. His smooth, rich vocals have a timeless quality that appeals to listeners of all ages. When he takes on a song, you can be sure he’ll bring his own unique style and interpretation to it. And that’s exactly what he does with “Boot Scootin’ Boogie.”
The ACM Last Rodeo was a major event in country music history, and having George Strait perform was the cherry on top. The energy in the arena must have been electric, and you can almost feel it through the screen as you watch the performance. The crowd is clearly loving every minute of it, and their enthusiasm is infectious.
Now, let’s talk about the song itself. “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” is a fun, energetic tune about dancing the night away at a country bar. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the scene, and the melody is so catchy that it’s hard not to get up and dance along. Brooks & Dunn originally recorded the song, and it quickly became a huge hit. But George Strait’s version gives the song a new lease on life, with his smooth vocals and traditional country sound.
One of the things that makes this performance so enjoyable is the simplicity. There are no fancy gimmicks or special effects. It’s just George Strait, his band, and a crowd of enthusiastic fans. And that’s all you need for a great country music performance. The focus is on the music, and the music is absolutely fantastic.

Lyrics
Out in the country past the city limits sign
Where 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
I 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
Stuck out in the woods to do the boot scootin’ boogie
Yeah, heel toe, docie doe, come on, baby, let’s go, boot scootin’
Oh, Cadillac, Black Jack, baby meet me outback we’re gonna boogie
Oh, get down turn around go to town boot scootin’ boogie
The bartender asks me, say, “Son what’ll it be”
I want a shot at that redhead yonder lookin’ at me
The dance floors hoppin’, and it’s hotter than the Fourth of July
I see outlaws inlaws crooks and straights
All out makin’ it shake doin’ the boot scootin’ boogie
Yeah, heel toe docie doe come on baby let’s go boot scootin’
Oh, Cadillac, Black Jack, baby meet me outback we’re gonna boogie
Get down turn around go to town boot scootin’ boogie
Oh, heel toe docie doe come on baby let’s go boot scootin’
Yeah, Cadillac, Black Jack baby meet me outback we’re gonna boogie
Yeah, get down turn around go to town boot scootin’ boogie
I say get down turn around go to town boot scootin’ boogie
Oh, get down turn around go to town boot scootin’ boogie
