Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
[Verse 1]
She tried to hide it by the faded denim clothes she wore
But I knew she’d never been inside a bar before
And I felt like a peasant who just had met a queen
And she knew I saw right through her tight fitting jeans[Verse 2]
I asked her what’s a woman like you doing here
I see you’re used to champagne but I’ll buy you a beer
She said you’ve got me figured out but I’m not what I seem
And for a dance I’ll tell you ’bout these tight fitting jeans[Verse 3]
She said I married money, I’m used to wearing pearls
But I’ve always dreamed of being just a good ol’ boys’ girl
So tonight I left those crystal candle lights to live a dream
And partner, there’s a tiger in these tight fitting jeans[Verse 4]
We danced every dance and Lord the beer that we went through
I’m satisfied I did my best to make her dream come true
As she played out her fantasy before my eyes it seemed
A cowgirl came alive inside those tight fitting jeans
