Most lines begin with "I'm gonna..." He borrows some money, heads into town, goes to a dance, meets the girl of his dreams, marries her etc, etc. but it's all "I'm gonna...." ACTUALLY all he REALLY does by the end is " I'm gonna buy me a bottle and get drunk". It's a simple tune, cute and funny almost with the vocals almost "deadpan" as if the poor fellow has made these "I'm gonna...." plans before without success! Anyone heard this tune? It's quite catchy actually and I've been listening to the radio with the hope of hearing it again but no luck! Thank you if you can help I'd appreciate it much! It's STUCK in my head!!!

Gonna Shine Up My Boots ... Corb Lund Band... lyrics below .. link to lyrics and youtube..
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
