Thirsty Boots (live)

You've long been on the open road You've been sleepin' in the rain From the dirty words and mud of the cells Your clothes are dark and stained But the dirty words, the muddy cells, will soon be judged insane So only stop to rest yourself and you'll be off again And take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try Just lookin' for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes Then tell me of the ones you've seen as far as you could see Across the plain from field to town, a-marching to be free And of the rusted prison gates that tumble by degree Like laughin' children one by one They look like you and me So take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try Lookin' for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes I know you are no stranger down the crooked rainbow trials From dancing cliff edge, shattered sills of slander shackled jails But the melodies drift from below as the walls are bein' scaled Yes, and all of this and more my friend Your song shall not be failed And take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try Just lookin' for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes And take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try Just lookin' for the evenin' and the morning in your eyes
