Those Boots

THOSE BOOTS

VERSE 1

THOSE BOOTS STAY MUDDY
FROM A HARD DAY ON THE FARM
THEY MIGHT BE DUSTY BUT THEY’RE STURDY
THEY’VE SEEN THEIR SHARE OF STORMS
HERDING CATTLE, MENDING FENCES
SOWING SEEDS FOR HIS FAMILY
BUT THOSE TRACKS THAT THEY’RE MAKING
ARE MAKING HISTORY

CHORUS

YEAH THOSE BOOTS THEY LEAVE THEIR MARKS AND THEIR ROOTS
RUN DEEPER THAN WHAT YOU SEE IN THE FOOTPRINTS LEFT BEHIND
THEY’RE BROKEN IN THEY’VE BEEN THROUGH THICK AND THIN
THEY’RE LEATHER, WEATHERED, WORN NO THEY DON’T HIDE THE TRUTH
GOD BLESS THE MEN WHO’VE WALKED A MILE IN THOSE BOOTS

VERSE 2

HE LACES THEM UP PROUDLY
HE’S GOT A COUNTRY TO DEFEND
AND IF THOSE BOOTS COULD TELL A STORY
THEY’D TELL YOU WHERE THEY’VE BEEN
FROM BASIC TRAINING DOWN IN TEXAS
TO MARCHING IN A FOREIGN LAND
THEY HELD UP A FALLEN HERO
THEY’VE MADE HISTORY IN THE SAND

CHORUS

YEAH THOSE BOOTS THEY LEAVE THEIR MARKS AND THEIR ROOTS
RUN DEEPER THAN WHAT YOU SEE IN THE FOOTPRINTS LEFT BEHIND
THEIR BROKEN IN THEY’VE BEEN THROUGH THICK AND THIN
THEIR LEATHER, WEATHERED, WORN NO THEY DON’T HIDE THE TRUTH
GOD BLESS THE MEN WHO’VE WALKED A MILE IN THOSE BOOTS

VERSE 3

WELL HE WALKS OUT TO A CIRCLE
ON THE GRAND OLE OPRY STAGE
YOU KNOW THOSE BOOTS HAVE BEEN THERE WITH HIM
EVERY STEP OF HIS WAY
THEY’VE KICKED OUT A FEW FOOTLIGHTS
SHARED BAD TIMES AND GOOD
BUT TONIGHT THEY’LL MAKE HISTORY
WHERE ALL HIS HEROES HAVE STOOD

CHORUS

YEAH THOSE BOOTS THEY LEAVE THEIR MARK AND THEIR ROOTS
RUN DEEPER THAN WHAT YOU SEE IN THE FOOTPRINTS LEFT BEHIND
THEIR BROKEN IN THEY’VE BEEN THROUGH THICK AND THIN
THEIR LEATHER, WEATHERED, WORN NO THEY DON’T HIDE THE TRUTH
AND I THANK THE MEN WHO’VE WALKED A MILE IN THOSE BOOTS
GOD BLESS THE MEN WHO’VE WALKED A MILE IN THOSE BOOTS
