I sure like the white sand in Panama City
Some of them girls there are pretty damn pretty
They got bronze on their skin, gold in their hair
But baby, I belong right here
Red flame dancing on a cottonwood fire
Sending up a North Star wish
Tennessee whiskey on a big sky night
Buzzing from a dew-drop kiss
I've been high but never quite like this
You might be alive but you ain't lived
'Til you see a sunrise in the eyes of a western woman
Girls dance down in the Delta
Light up the East Coast
But my kind of darling is grounded as a fence post
She got wild in her smile, dust on her jeans
Sitting right next to me
We got a red flame dancing on a cottonwood fire
Sending up a North Star wish
Tennessee whiskey on a big sky night
Buzzing from a dew-drop kiss
I've been high but never quite like this
You might be alive but you ain't lived
'Til you see a sunrise in the eyes of a western woman
Cool as the river, huckleberry sweet
Like frost in November, you were made for me
And it's red flame dancing on a cottonwood fire
Sending up a North Star wish
Tennessee whiskey on a big sky night
Buzzing from a dew-drop kiss
I've been high but never quite like this
You might be alive but you ain't lived
'Til you see a sunrise in the eyes of a western woman
