lyrics

These Boots

These boots my dear, they were not made for walking
And that’s why I’m sitting at this table, keepin’ on tryin’ talking
Well, in the morning you say you’re in, but by the eve I have my doubts
Well I got a big heart girl, but sometimes this makes me want to shout

Can’t you see that I am lovesick on you
Ain’t no plan of treatment I can pursue
Have some mercy, we’re too big for this town
Put three bullets in my heart and I’ll go down
Or throw me a line, but don’t just leave me here to drown

Well these boots my dear, they were not made for running
I just wanna walk right over to your heart, open the door, let the sun in
I will smile when you smile, I will stand by your side when you cry
I will twist myself to make you laugh, I won’t mind if you sigh

Can’t you see that I am lovesick on you
Ain’t no plan of treatment I can pursue
Have some mercy, we’re too big for this town
Put three bullets in my heart and I’ll go down
Or throw me a line, but don’t just leave me here to drown

Well your boots my dear I know they were not made to parachute
But I’m pretty sure they’ll be sturdy enough if you choose that route
Well I’ve got an extra pack for you, hope you’ll jump with me,
Your plane’s a burnin husk, so take a leap of faith, trust me you’ll be happy

Can’t you see that I am lovesick on you
Ain’t no plan of treatment I can pursue
Have some mercy, we’re too big for this town
Put three bullets in my heart and I’ll go down
Or throw me a line, but don’t just leave me here to drown
