[Verse 1]
Get ups, Gimics
One hit wonders that don't stick
Pretty boys actin' tough
Boy bands, give it up
And if it looks good on TV
It'll look good on a CD
Shape it up, trim it down
Who gives a damn about how it sounds?

[Chorus]
I don't think Waylon done' it that way
And if he was here he'd say
"Hoss neither did Hank"
I ain't dogging what you're doing'
But boys come on let’s get real
You still got a lot of boot left to fill

[Verse 2]
You say you're the real deal
But you play what, nobody feels
You sing about Johnny Cash
The man in black would have whipped your ass!

[Chorus]
And I don't think Waylon done' it that way
And if he was here he'd say
"Hoss neither did Hank"
I ain't dogging what you're doing'
But boys come on let’s get real
You still got a lot of boot left to fill
Come on now

[Verse 3]
So, so long, 'till I see you again
When you're laying in the bargain bin, ha

[Chorus]
I don't think Waylon done' it that way
And if he was here he'd say
"Hoss neither did Hank"
I ain't dogging what you're doing'
But then again, hell yes I am
I just don't give a damn cause
You still got a lot of boot left to fill

[Outro]
Yeah, I guess we all got a lot of boot left to fill
Oh, yeah that's right
Here we go now, one, two, three, four

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
