"Knockin' Boots" lyrics

"Knockin' Boots"

This truck needs a half tank
These wheels need a two-lane
This radio needs three songs to play
To get me 'cross town to you
That dress needs to slip off
That hair needs to come down
Friday nights need to do
What Friday nights need to do
That's the truth

Yeah, birds need bees and ice needs whiskey
Boys like me need girls like you to kiss me
"Fishin' in the Dark" needs Nitty Gritty
Under that pale moon
Sweet tea needs that sugar stirrin'
Small town nights need both ends burnin'
Shades need drawin', hearts need fallin'
Boots need knockin', knockin' boots
Knockin' boots, me and you, oh

Long weeks need a weekend
Cheap drinks need a-slingin'
That dance floor needs some me on you
And you on me tonight
Singalongs need to be sung
Tip bells need to be rung
Last calls need a "Call that cab"
And backseats need "I want you so bad"

Yeah, birds need bees and ice needs whiskey
Boys like me need the girls like you to kiss me
"Fishin' in the Dark" needs Nitty Gritty
Under that pale moon
Sweet tea needs that sugar stirrin'
Small town nights need both ends burnin'
Shades need drawin', hearts need fallin'
Boots need knockin', knockin' boots
Knockin' boots, girl, me and you

Doors need shuttin'
Lights need cuttin'
Lips need lockin'
Boots need knockin'

And birds need bees and ice needs whiskey
Boys like me need girls like you to kiss me
"Fishin' in the Dark" needs Nitty Gritty
Under that pale moon
Sweet tea needs that sugar stirrin'
Small town nights need both ends burnin'
Shades need drawin', hearts need fallin'
Boots need knockin', knockin' boots
Mm, knockin' boots, me and you, oh
Knockin' boots

Luke Bryan commented on this, "'Knockin' Boots' is about dancing, fun, it feels country and it's also about, hey, lovin' on your significant other."
Songwriter Jon Nite, who co-wrote this song, also worked on Luke Bryan's 2015 hit single "Strip It Down". Bryan said, "From the moment I heard this song I knew I had to get in the studio and record it. I just couldn't get it out of my head. This may be the fastest turn around I have ever done with a song."
