[Verse 1: Ella Langley]
I was all but twenty two, I think at the time
I'd been out on the road, lonely at night
And it'd been a while, so it was on my mind
Well, I saw him walk in, with his cowboy hat
And I thought to myself, I could use some of that
His boots like glass on a sawdust floor, huh
Had moves like nothing I'd ever seen before
So I walked right up, and I pulled him to the side
I handed that man a beer and looked him in the eyes
And I said "Baby, I think you're gonna wanna hear this"
Then I told him
