The Boots I Came to Town In
I remember when I saw them I was just 17
The finest work of leather I'd ever seen
I laid down my last dollar wore 'em out the door with pride
They were the boots I came to town in every Friday night
Through swinging doors on saw dust floors
They kicked their heels up high
From Tulsa down to Baton Rouge to Hollywood and vine
We chased our dream sometimes it seemed the climb was all up hill
But the boots I came to town in were never standing still
The boots I came to town in once were shiny new
Now these old soles have got some holes From all that they've been through
They take me where I am going
They know where I've been
The boots I came to town in
Remind me who I am
They drove that hammer down to Music City USA
They held up my shaking legs on the opry stage
In looking back I'm proud to sa
Through all the ups and downs
The boots I came to town in always foot their ground
Now I dreamed about this special night And man there's quite a crowd
If they call my name I'll be walking proud
My head's up in the clouds but I am on solid ground
'Cause the boots I came to town in are underneath this sequined gown
The boots I came to town in once were shiny new
Now these old soles have got some holes From all that they've been through
They take me where I am going
They know where I've been
The boots I came to town in
Remind me who I am
The boots I came to town in
Will take me home again
The finest work of leather I'd ever seen
I laid down my last dollar wore 'em out the door with pride
They were the boots I came to town in every Friday night
Through swinging doors on saw dust floors
They kicked their heels up high
From Tulsa down to Baton Rouge to Hollywood and vine
We chased our dream sometimes it seemed the climb was all up hill
But the boots I came to town in were never standing still
The boots I came to town in once were shiny new
Now these old soles have got some holes From all that they've been through
They take me where I am going
They know where I've been
The boots I came to town in
Remind me who I am
They drove that hammer down to Music City USA
They held up my shaking legs on the opry stage
In looking back I'm proud to sa
Through all the ups and downs
The boots I came to town in always foot their ground
Now I dreamed about this special night And man there's quite a crowd
If they call my name I'll be walking proud
My head's up in the clouds but I am on solid ground
'Cause the boots I came to town in are underneath this sequined gown
The boots I came to town in once were shiny new
Now these old soles have got some holes From all that they've been through
They take me where I am going
They know where I've been
The boots I came to town in
Remind me who I am
The boots I came to town in
Will take me home again
