Gothic Girl in Cowboy Boots

[Verse 1] Black lace dress in a hayfield Smudged red mouth, summer sky Boots kicked up on his tailgate Saying, “Teach me how to drive” He swears he’s seen an angel She just laughs and rolls her eyes Tracing names in the dust Planning how to say goodbye [Chorus] She’s that gothic girl in cowboy boots Breaking all the country boys’ roots Takes their jacket, steals their youth Leaves them praying for the truth They fall hard under her dark tattooed spell While she’s humming like she’s somewhere else Gothic girl in cowboy boots Breaking all the country boys’ hearts in two [Verse 2] Midnight curls in his ball cap Black nails on his old guitar Sings along to his love song Like it’s someone else’s scars He’s building her a future She’s sketching on his arm Little roses with a razor Blooming right over his heart [Chorus] She’s that gothic girl in cowboy boots Breaking all the country boys’ roots Takes their jacket, steals their youth Leaves them praying for the truth They fall hard under her dark tattooed spell While she’s humming like she’s somewhere else Gothic girl in cowboy boots Breaking all the country boys’ hearts in two [Bridge] She don’t mean to wreck their faith She was born to leave this place Prom dress black, suitcase packed She waves once, never looks back (oh) Bonfire smoke in her hair Every boy still sees her there [Chorus] She’s that gothic girl in cowboy boots Breaking all the country boys’ roots Takes their jacket, steals their youth Leaves them praying for the truth They fall hard under her dark tattooed spell While she’s dancing with somebody else Gothic girl in cowboy boots Breaking all the country boys’ hearts in two
