  • This ain't Texas (woo), ain't no hold 'em (hey)
    So lay your cards down, down, down, down
    So park your Lexus (woo) and throw your keys up (hey)
    Stick around, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round (stick around)
    And I'll be damned if I can't slow dance with you
    Come pour some sugar on me, honey too
    It's a real life boogie and a real life hoedown
    Don't be a bitch, come take it to the floor now, woo, huh (woo)

    There's a tornado (there's a tornado) in my city (in my city)
    Hit the basement (hit the basement), that shit ain't pretty (shit ain't pretty)
    Rugged whiskey (rugged whiskey) 'cause we survivin' ('cause we survivin')
    Off red cup kisses, sweet redemption, passin' time, yeah

    Ooh, one step to the right
    We headin' to the dive bar we always thought was nice
    Ooh, run me to the left
    Then spin me in the middle, boy, I can't read your mind

    This ain't Texas (woo), ain't no hold 'em (hey)
    So lay your cards down, down, down, down
    So park your Lexus (woo) and throw your keys up (hey)
    Stick around, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round (stick around)
    And I'll be damned if I can't slow dance with you
    Come pour some sugar on me, honey too
    It's a real life boogie and a real life hoedown
    Don't be a bitch, come take it to the floor now (woo)

    And I'll be damned if I cannot dance with you
    Come pour some liquor on me, honey too
    It's a real life boogie and a real life hoedown
    Don't be a bitch, come take it to the floor now (woo)

    Woo-hoo
    Woo-hoo
    Woo-hoo

    There's a heatwave (there's a heatwave) coming at us (coming at us)
    Too hot to think straight (too hot to think straight)
    Too cold to panic (cold to panic)
    All of the problems just feel dramatic (just feel dramatic)
    And now we're runnin' to the first spot that we find, yeah

    Ooh, one step to the right
    We headin' to the dive bar we always thought was nice
    Ooh, you run to the left
    Just work me in the middle, boy, I can't read your mind

    This ain't Texas (woo), ain't no hold 'em (hey)
    So lay your cards down, down, down, down, oh
    So park your Lexus (hey), throw your keys up (hey)
    Stick around, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round (stick around)
    And I'll be damned if I cannot dance with you
    Come pour some sugar on me, honey, too
    It's a real life boogie and a real life hoedown
    Don't be a bitch, come take it to the floor now (woo)

    And I'll be damned if I cannot dance with you
    Come pour some liquor on me honey, too
    It's a real life boogie and a real life hoedown
    Don't be a-, come take it to the floor now, ooh

    Take it to the floor now, ooh
    Hoops, spurs, boots
    To the floor now, ooh
    Tuck, back, oops (ooh, ooh, ooh)
    Shoot
    Come take it to the floor now, ooh
    And I'll be damned if I cannot dance with you
    Baby, pour that sugar and liquor on me too
    Furs, spurs, boots
