 These boots
 Counted off  many a band
 Playing one  night road house stands
 For tips  and empty rooms
 These boots
 Have stood  toe to toe
 With the biggest  baddest joes
 Like they had  some things to prove
 These boots
 Yeah, these boots
 More than once  saved my ass
 Like the time  they hid that grass
 From those cops  in Tupelo
 And these boots
 Have danced  with the devil
 And nearly  lost that battle
 To wild  irish rose
I  wore out  more soles
 Than I care  to count
 I done more stupid  things than most
 Would dare to
 I kick  myself  more times than not
 For the roads  they lead me down
 But the damnedest  thing I've ever  seen them do
 Is walking out on you
 These boots
 Had to see  California
 And an Arizona morning
 Where God  paints the sky
 And these boots
 Had to spur  that beast in Cheyenne
 Thought that bull'd  make me a real  man
 I still  drag that leg  sometimes
I  wore out  more soles
 Than I care  to count
 I done more stupid  things than most
 Would dare to
 I kick  myself  more times than not
 For the roads  they lead me down
 But the damnedest  thing I've ever  seen them do
 Is walking out on you
 These boots
 Are one step  from the door
 They walked out  of years before
 I can almost  see her now
 These boots
 Oughta kick  'at door aside
 Stomp out  my foolish pride
 But they  just turn around
 Damn these boots
 Damn these boots
 These boots
 Repeat until end
