Lyrics

I was raised out in the country
Between the corn and hay
We’d listen for the sound of the whippoorwill
In the big ol’ yard where I used to play
 
Mama’d be on her piano
Daddy’d sing and clap
Life was a whole lotta simple
Ain’t one little thing I’d change about that
 
CHORUS
We’re barefootin’ dancin’ in the kitchen
Barefootin’ while the music played
Barefootin’ ain’t nothin better
Than kickin’ off your shoes on a good ol’ day
Barefootin’ in a summer dress
Barefootin’ spinnin’ round and round
Barefootin’ not a care or a worry
I could use a barefootin’ day right now
 
We always had a garden
We planted every spring
That cottonwood tree made good shade
And held up my old wooden swing
 
There was a muddy pond with catfish
Behind a chicken house full of eggs
That we’d all jump in with an inner tube
And the heat would float away
 
CHORUS
These days I’m a wife and a mama
With a little girl of my own
Sometimes I’ll turn the music on
And the next thing that you know
CHORUS
We’re barefootin’ dancin’ in the kitchen
Barefootin’ while the music plays
Barefootin’ ain’t nothin' better
Than kickin’ off your shoes on a good ol’ day
Barefootin’ in a summer dress
Barefootin’ spinnin’ round and round
Barefootin’ not a care or a worry
I could use a barefootin’ day right now
I could use a barefootin’ day right now
I could use a barefootin’ day right now
