My Father’s Boots Lyrics[Verse 1]
Well, Beaumont to Odessa, God knows wherever
They're old, but I'll betcha, can't buy 'em off the shelf
These stories of living, stitched in the grain
When I wear 'em, I remember from where I once came
[Chorus]
Yeah, my father's boots, I can ride, I can shoot
There's just something in the soul that's all leather and truth
Put 'em on, stand your ground, take 'em off, hand 'em down
So the next one can walk in the roots of his father's boots
[Verse 2]
Well, he bought 'em in Houston, wore 'em right out the door
He broke 'em in spinnin' mom 'round the floor
Even covered in dust, they're a damn work of art
They're on my feet, he's in my heart
[Chorus]
Yeah, my father's boots, I can ride, I can shoot
There's just something in the soul that's all leather and truth
Put 'em on, stand your ground, take 'em off, hand 'em down
So the next one can walk in the roots of his father's boots
[Verse 3]
Well, you can wear out a shirt, it comes and it goes
But this cowhide and dirt has decades to go
That's family history, wherever you run
So wear them with pride now that your time has come
[Chorus]
Well, yeah, my father's boots, I can ride, I can shoot
There's just something in the soul that's all leather and truth
Put 'em on, stand your ground, take 'em off, hand 'em down
So the next one can walk in the roots
When he wears them, he'll think of you
And his father's boots
