No Body Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dixie cup martinis
Second one's a freebie
Happy Friday afternoon
That neon sun's a-risin'
I'm sittin' here, admirin'
The summer dress that's shinin' through
Had just enough to tell you the truth

[Chorus]
Don't wanna scoot the boots with no body
Get straight tequila drunk on no body
Wrap these arms around no body
No body but yours
Don't wanna shadow dance with no body
Slide some cotton off of no body
Don't wanna wake up kissin' no body
No body but yours

[Verse 2]
Honeysuckle talkin'
Last call Old Milwaukin'
Out there to a checkered cab
B-line to your condo
Conway on the stereo
Girl, I'd love to lay you down, down, down
[Chorus]
Don't wanna scoot the boots with no body
Get straight tequila drunk on no body
Wrap these arms around no body
No body but yours
Don't wanna shadow dance with no body
Slide somе cotton off of no body
Don't wanna wake up kissin' no body
No body but yours

[Bridge]
Don't wanna hold no body
Lay eyes on no body
Lovе up on no body

[Chorus]
Don't wanna scoot the boots with no body
Get straight tequila drunk on no body
Wrap these arms around no body
No body but yours
Don't wanna shadow dance with no body
Slide some cotton off of no body
Don't wanna wake up kissin' no body
No body but yours

[Outro]
Don't wanna wake up kissin' no body
No body but yours

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

This is a love song in which the title is indicative of the singer’s desire for “no body” but the addressee. As implied, his infatuation with this lady, if you will, is influenced by booze, admiring her body (while dancing) and an overall sense of revelry, as the initial setting is a TGIF kind of situation. But as time progresses, as implied in the second verse, his goal is to take her home and ‘lay her down’.

And there really isn’t anything presented herein that fans of such numbers haven’t heard before. So the shtick of this piece is reportedly centered on it thematically, to some degree, harping back to the country music scene of the 1990s. That would be why for instance on the cover art we see Blake posing with a mullet, i.e. the hairstyle he personally rocked back in those days.
