Woo! While we make a rare move to the mainstream on SOTD, the American megastar also surprises by going catchily country with banjo and pedal steel and all, with a song from the second part of her new project, perhaps reclaiming American roots music, and in contrast to the house and disco sound of her previous Renaissance: Act One. Here it is then, followed also by another song - 16 Carriages, which appears to reflect on her big touring career. The album is due out in March on Parkwood Entertainment/Columbia Records.

This ain't Texas (Woo)
Ain't no hold 'em (Hey)
So lay your cards down, down, down, down
So park your Lexus (Woo)
And throw your keys up (Hey)
Stick around, 'round, 'round, 'round, 'round (Stick around)
And I'll be damned if I can't slow-dance with you
Come pour some sugar on me, honey too
It's a real-life boogie and a real-life hoedown
Don't be a bitch, come take it to the floor now, woo, ha (Woo)

And I'll be damned if I can't slow-dance with you
Come pour some sugar on me, honey too
It's a real-life boogie and a real-life hoedown
Don't be a bitch, come take it to the floor now, woo
And I'll be damned if I cannot dance with you
Come pour some liquor on me, honey too
It's a real-life boogie and a real-life hoedown
Don't be a bitch, come take it to the floor now, woo
Woo-hoo
