Lyrics

Been up since the crack of dawn, just tryin’ to get (F#)paid.

Been hot ter than a hun dred suns, I can’t find no (F#)shade.

Just (C#m)two more rows and I’m good to go.

Give me a (C#m)half an hour for a shave and a show er and I’ll (CN.C.)be out side your house.

Might have a lit tle (C#m)dirt on my boots, but I’m tak in’ you (B)up town to night.

Might have a lit tle (C#m)mud on my wheels, but they’re gon na shine with you up in side.

Gon na (C#m)hit the club, gon na cut a rug, burn it (B)up like ne on lights.

Might have a lit tle (C#m)dirt on my boots, but we’re gon na dance the dust right off them to night.

(Yeah, girl.)

Got a lit tle (C#m)dirt on my boots.

Hard as I worked all day, I’m gon na (B)work hard er lov in’ on (F#)you.

Spin you all o ver that dance floor, right (B)out of them high heel shoes.

And when you’re (C#m)read y to quit, ba by, we can slip right (B)out of that bar room (F#)door.

And when I (C#m)take (CN.C.)you home, don’t wor ry, babe, I’m gon na kick ’em off on the porch.

Might have a lit tle (C#m)dirt on my boots, but I’m tak in’ you (B)up town to night.

Might have a lit tle (C#m)mud on my wheels, but they’re gon na shine with you up in side.

Gon na (C#m)hit the club, gon na cut a rug, burn it (B)up like ne on lights.

Might have a lit tle (C#m)dirt on my boots, but we’re gon na dance the dust right off them to night.

(Yeah, girl.)

Got a lit tle (C#m)dirt on my boots.
