I'm gonna shine up my boots   I'm gonna go into town   I'm gonna scrape up twenty dollars   I'm gonna throw it around      I'm gonna buy me a dance   First lovely lady that I see   And when our dance is through   I'll say "Will you marry me?"      I'm gonna shine up my boots   I'm gonna go into town   I'm gonna scrape up twenty dollars   I'm gonna throw it around      I'm gonna find me a game   Of hold 'em if I can   And fold 'em all night long   Till I got me a hand      I'm gonna buy us a ranch   With a palomino herd   And I won't mean no harm, babe   And I won't say a word      When Misery comes to call   I'll give to him my life   I'll set with him awhile   And share my horse, my home, my wife      I'm gonna shine up my boots   I'm gonna go into town   I'm gonna scrape up twenty dollars   I'm gonna throw it around      I'm gonna shine up my boots   I'm gonna go into town   I'm gonna scrape up twenty dollars   But I'll probly just drink it down
