COWBOY BOOTS

I’ve got an old pair of Cowboy boots that I really love
They’re worn and tattered, torn up inside, but they fit me like a glove
I can wear them all day, wear them all night and they never hurt my feet
They’re working on sole number 3 or 4, my wife tells me that they stink

I’ve had this old cheap guitar, since I was 20 years old
It’s beat up and banged up as you might expect, after 40 years on the road
With a hundred or more autographs, got Willie Nelson’s too
Just like my old pair of Cowboy boots, it’s better than new

1^st Bridge:
I’ve got this old straw Stetson, that’s seen its better day
It’s been with me through thick and thin; don’t dare to throw it away
It still shades my eyes and balding head, from that hot Texas sun
Just like my old Cowboy Boots, I keep it just for fun

I’ve got this here wife of mine, for nearly 35 years
Despite this cruel, cruel world, she’s still my best friend
She loves me more than I deserve, considering what I’ve put her through
Just like my old Cowboy Boots, she sticks with me like glue

I’ve got fifty years of memories, some happy and some are sad
Reflecting back over my life, there were good years but some were bad
But memories are something that can’t be bought or sold
Even better than my old Cowboy boots, they’re are part of my soul
