These Boots

These Boots - Eric Church

These boots

Have counted off many a band

Playing one night roadhouse stands

For tips in 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 have saved my a*s

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 a wild irish rose

I wore out more soles than I care to count

Done more stupid things than most would dare to

I've kicked myself more times than not

For the roads they led me down

But the damndest thing I've ever seen them do

Is walkin' 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

Done more stupid things than most would dare to

I've kicked myself more times than not

For the roads they led me down

But the damndest thing I've ever seen them do

Is walkin' out on you

Now these boots are one step from the door

They walked out of years before

I can almost see her now

These boots ought to kick that door aside

Stomp out my foolish pride

But they just turn around

Damn these boots

Damn these boots

These boots
