I could waste away right here on the couch

Then turn off my phone and never go out

And I could sit around feeling sorry for myself

But those beers at the bar ain't gonna drink themselves

I could pull the shades down on the windows

Or I could kick the door open with my steel toe, so

Pour me a shot of don't give a damn

I've had enough of this heartbreak

Gonna dance myself out of this quicksand

With an old country song and a strong drink

Throw 'em down, knock 'em back

Gonna pull myself up by the bootstraps

By the bootstraps

I could hang around this old barstool

Head back home after a drink or two

But I hit it off with a girl with blue eyes

Looks like this broke-down heart's coming back to life, so

Pour me a shot of don't give a damn

I've had enough of this heartbreak

Gonna dance myself out of this quicksand

With an old country song and a strong drink

Throw 'em down, knock 'em back

Gonna pull myself up by the bootstraps

By the bootstraps

Yeah, by the bootstraps

Now I finally found my way out of this funk

I'm a little less lonely and a little more drunk, so

Pour me a shot of don't give a damn

'Cause I've had enough of this heartbreak

Gonna dance myself out of this quicksand

With an old country song and a strong drink

Throw 'em down, knock 'em back

Gonna pull myself up by the bootstraps

Yeah

Throw 'em down, knock 'em back

Gonna pull myself up by the bootstraps

By the bootstraps

Whoa, by the bootstraps

By the bootstraps
