Dust off your boots © 2005 John Wesley Coutts and Jamie Marie Bills are piling up on the kitchen table It’s like the mailman brings one more every day You know I’d like to pay them all if I was able But the boss ain’t gonna raise my pay Lets not let our troubles get us down Why worry about things we can’t control Lets blow our last few bucks on a night on the town And the bills will still be there when we get home Chorus Dust off your boots and lets go dancing Let down your hair like you did when we first met Kick up your heels on a sawdust floor And I’ll lead you in an old two-step We can sit and watch when they line dance They might still do one or two we know It’s been so long since we had some fun And who the next time we’ll get back for more Remember back when we first started dating We went dancing almost every night No money worries to keep us waiting And we’d walk home hand in hand in the moonlight Now we’re married with a mortgage Next spring maybe a baby on the way Then who knows when we’ll get out again So come on out and we’ll dance our cares away Repeat chorus and tag

True blue love © 2005 Linda Fitzke and John Wesley Coutts V.1. I'm not rich just an av’rage guy Don’t wear a Tag or a Rolex watch There's things I want but just can't buy Like a 4x4 and a real good Scotch V.2. Never seen my picture in Forbes or time I'll never own a Porsche or a yacht Gotta start work at eight not nine But I'm thankful for all I got Chorus Cos I believe in true blue love Good friends and God above To see me through each day I believe a heart of gold Can’t be bought or sold It’s always been that way V.3. Real wealth is a state of mind A precious thing money can’t buy Like the love between a man and wife And a healthy new born baby’s cry V.4. Blessed with friends and family The Good Book keeps me right These gifts sent from up above Are the fortune in my life Repeat chorus Bridge Acts of kindness are a choice we make We each gotta walk our own path When my time comes I’ll gladly go With a clear untroubled heart Repeat chorus
