One of His Boots - Acoustic
He had a back like steel
Kept his head on his shoulders
He knew a lie from a truth
If you got on his bad side, it was over
He knew how the world turned
To him, hard work was putting hands in the dirt
If you're still breathing, you ain't hurt
Nobody could fill his boots
I could give it my all, but my all couldn't be enough
Next to somebody else I might seem strong
Next to him I ain't tough
Do the best that I can to be half the man he was
A hell of a chip on my shoulder, but it's all that I can do
And still come up short trying to fill one of his boots
He didn't go anywhere without his old denim jacket
Looking for an answer, you knew he had it
Give the shirt off his back
Pick you up if you were feeling down
Push came to shove, he'd stand his ground
I could give it my all, but my all couldn't be enough
Next to somebody else I might seem strong
Next to him I ain't tough
Do the best that I can to be half the man he was
A hell of a chip on my shoulder, but it's all that I can do
And still come up short trying to fill one of his boots
One of his boots
One of his boots had a hole in the sole
One of his boots is all he needed to look ten feet tall
He wore his heart on his sleeve, and I would've sworn it was made of gold
I could give it my all, but my all couldn't be enough
Next to somebody else I might seem strong
Next to him I ain't tough
Do the best that I can to be half the man he was
A hell of a chip on my shoulder, but it's all that I can do
And still come up short trying to fill one of his boots
One of his boots
One of his boots
Kept his head on his shoulders
He knew a lie from a truth
If you got on his bad side, it was over
He knew how the world turned
To him, hard work was putting hands in the dirt
If you're still breathing, you ain't hurt
Nobody could fill his boots
I could give it my all, but my all couldn't be enough
Next to somebody else I might seem strong
Next to him I ain't tough
Do the best that I can to be half the man he was
A hell of a chip on my shoulder, but it's all that I can do
And still come up short trying to fill one of his boots
He didn't go anywhere without his old denim jacket
Looking for an answer, you knew he had it
Give the shirt off his back
Pick you up if you were feeling down
Push came to shove, he'd stand his ground
I could give it my all, but my all couldn't be enough
Next to somebody else I might seem strong
Next to him I ain't tough
Do the best that I can to be half the man he was
A hell of a chip on my shoulder, but it's all that I can do
And still come up short trying to fill one of his boots
One of his boots
One of his boots had a hole in the sole
One of his boots is all he needed to look ten feet tall
He wore his heart on his sleeve, and I would've sworn it was made of gold
I could give it my all, but my all couldn't be enough
Next to somebody else I might seem strong
Next to him I ain't tough
Do the best that I can to be half the man he was
A hell of a chip on my shoulder, but it's all that I can do
And still come up short trying to fill one of his boots
One of his boots
One of his boots
