These Old Boots Lyrics

By Dub Miller
Key of A, capo at 2nd fret
These old boots are cracked and dusty, and worn out on the ends
but theyve walked with me a thousand miles and theyve become my friends
theyve carried me through hard times and waited while I cried
and these boots I know will stick with me till its time to say good bye
These old boots were with me, when I first left my home
to search for new tomorrows, and set out on my own
and though my mind, it waivered, and my heart broke at the strings
my boots tread ever forward in my search of hopes and dreams
These old boots were with me while I danced across the floor
to woo a green eyed girl, the kind Id never met before
and they led me to a moonlit path under shining autumn bliss
and gave me the courage to stand my ground for a lovers starlit kiss
These old boots knelt with me, with my lovers hand in mine
to present a golden bond of hope uniting us for time
and they walked with me through better and worse, until the very day
that my lovers heart was stolen, then they helped my walk away
These old boots have seen the good times, they have seen the bad
these old boots have always had the strength Ive always wished I had
and when I kneel down to the lord in prayer, my soul to save
I know my boots will find the path, when theyve laid me in the grave
These old boots are cracked and dusty, and worn out on the ends
but theyve walked with me a thousand miles and theyve become my friends
