These Boots Tab

Capo 3rd fret

            
These boots
                  
Counted off many a band
                            
Playing one night road house stands
                 
For tips and empty rooms

      
These boots
                 
Have stood toe to toe
                        
With the biggest baddest joes
                              
Like they had some things to prove
      
These boots
            
Yeah, these boots
                       
More than once saved my ass
                           
Like the time they hid that grass
                     
From those cops in Tupelo

          
And these boots
                    
Have danced with the devil
                    
And nearly lost that battle
               
To wild irish rose


              
I wore out more soles
           
Than I care to count
                              
I done more stupid things than most
           
Would dare to

                                    
I kick myself more times than not
                       
For the roads they lead me down
                                        
But the damnedest thing I've ever seen them do
                             
Is walking out on you

      
These boots
              
Had to see California
              
And an Arizona morning
                   
Where God paints the sky

          
And these boots
                         
Had to spur that beast in Cheyenne
                             
Thought that bull'd make me a real man
                    
I still drag that leg sometimes


              
I wore out more soles
           
Than I care to count
                              
I done more stupid things than most
           
Would dare to

                                    
I kick myself more times than not
                       
For the roads they lead me down
                                        
But the damnedest thing I've ever seen them do
                             
Is walking out on you

      
These boots
                     
Are one step from the door
                           
They walked out of years before
                   
I can almost see her now

      
These boots
                     
Oughta kick 'at door aside
                    
Stomp out my foolish pride
                  
But they just turn around

  
          
               
Damn these boots
               
Damn these boots
           
These boots
