Introduction:

Ah, yes, Toby Keith’s “She’s A Hottie”. Released in 2008, this track was a bit of a departure for the country music icon. Now, Toby Keith is a legend. A man synonymous with the heartland, blue-collar anthems, and a storytelling voice that could drawl sunshine out of a Texas dust storm. Tracks like “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” and “A Little Less Talk and a Lot More Action” cemented his status as a country music mainstay.

But “She’s A Hottie” throws a playful curveball. This wasn’t a ballad about lost love or a hard day’s work. This was a two-step, foot-stomping celebration of a certain type of Southern charm – the kind with a wink and a whole lot of sass.

Backed by a producer well-versed in Toby Keith’s signature sound – the legendary Bobby Pinson, who also co-wrote the song – “She’s A Hottie” bursts onto the scene with a double dose of electric guitar and a banjo riff that wouldn’t be out of place at a hootenanny. It’s a party from the first note, the kind of song that makes you want to grab your sweetheart and two-step under the Friday night lights.

Now, some folks might scoff at the title’s straightforwardness. “She’s A Hottie” doesn’t mince words. It’s a celebration of physical attraction, pure and simple. But within that simplicity lies a certain charm. This ain’t some highfalutin’ love song with metaphors and moonlight. This is a down-home declaration, a whistle and a catcall all rolled into one. It’s a tip of the hat to the kind of woman who can turn heads and light up a room, all while keeping you on your toes.

“She’s A Hottie” wasn’t Toby Keith’s biggest chart-topper, but it was a reminder of the artist’s versatility. He could deliver heart-wrenching ballads and rowdy anthems, but he could also whip up a good old-fashioned party tune that would get any honky-tonk hopping. It might not be the most profound song in his catalogue, but it’s a slice of pure, unadulterated fun, a celebration of small-town beauty with a wink and a smile. So, put on your dancing shoes, crank up the volume, and get ready to experience Toby Keith letting loose and having a good time. After all, sometimes, a good hottie and a catchy tune are all you need for a perfect night.

Lyrics:

“She’s A Hottie”
She’s sittin’ by the water where the river gets wide,
Think about swimming to the other side,
Got a Malboro red, and a can of cold Bud
Toes squished down in the Arkansas mud,

Hey Mister! Yeah, I kissed her.
Son, you ought to see her sister!
You’ve got to give a little something to a cool dark cat,
Finding him a woman who could shake like that,
Hottie, she’s a Hottie! Got a smokin’ little body
String bikini and a barbed-wire tat (tattoo)
She’s rockin’ that cowboy hat
Hottie, she’s a Hottie! And just a little bit naughty
Kayay digidigy, Kayay digidigy, yey Hey hey hey Hey

She’s slappin’ down a dam
Where the moss gets thick,
Yellin’ Yee Haw! she’s a redneck chick,
Spittin’ in the fire, puttin’ on a show,
Struttin like a chicken to the radio,
Hey Slick! She’s a hick!
Hmmm and her butter milk lipstick
Give a little something to a cool dark cat,
Finding him a woman who could shake like that,

Hottie, she’s a Hottie! She got a smokin’ little body
String bikini and a barbed-wire tat (tattoo)
She’s rockin’ that cowboy hat
Hottie, she’s a Hottie! And just a little bit naughty
Singing Kayay digidigy,
Kayay digidigy, yey Hey hey hey Hey

Dress her up boys, I took her from the farm,
I brought her downtown, I hung her on my arm,
You’ve got to give a little somethin’ to a cool dark cat,
Finding him a woman who could walk like that!
She’s a Hottie, she’s a Hottie! She’s got a smokin’ little body
String bikini and a barbed-wire tat (tattoo)
She’s rockin’ that cowboy hat
Hottie, she’s a Hottie! And just a little bit naughty
Kayay digidigy, Kayay digidigy, yey
Singing Kayay digidigy, Kayay digidigy
Yey hey Hey hey Hey

Singing Kayay digidigy, Kayay digidigy, Yey Hey hey Hey
