Friday night we were out in style
at the Neon Palisades
Band was playin’ boot scootin’ tunes
I asked, baby, what’s the wait?
She said darlin’ let’s relax here
till they play a slower song
I said, find me on the dance floor
because that’s where I belong

Chorus
I can’t sit still
(can’t sit still)
No, I can’t sit still
(can’t sit still)
when the fiddle’s whining
with a bass behind
and the steel guitar is cryin’
I can’t help the way I feel
I just can’t sit still

I’ve been a dancehall junkie
for as long as I recall
Not just for beer and women
though I don’t mind them at all
I come here for the country tunes
they still play it hard as stone
Something about those western beats
won’t leave my feet alone

I can’t sit still
(can’t sit still)
No, I can’t sit still
(can’t sit still)
when the fiddle’s whining
with a bass behind
and the steel guitar is cryin’
I can’t help the way I feel
I just can’t sit still

Bridge
When I was two I first heard the sound
that still spins my world around
I started steppin’, movin’, makin’ noise
to “Thank God I’m a Country Boy”

(Repeat Chorus)
