Lyrics

[Verse 1]

For several long years, I waited for you

You played your games, I played mine too

While I wait for you

Groanin' calls and lots of hurt

Girls are cryin' and I'm lyin' in the dirt

Tryin' to make this work

I'm a big jerk, fooled by your smirk

[Verse 2]

Pull out your gun, shoot me with words

Right through the head, oh, just like I deserve

Throw me to the curb

All them old folks gatherin' around me

Point and laugh, oh, while they watch me bleed

I'm startin' to believe

This is not a dream

Completely obscene

[Verse 3]

Bury me in the cold, hard ground

Throw my body in while I'm lyin' down

Then you steal my crown

Before you leave me lyin' in the dirt

Take off my boots and give 'em to the herd

All them sad words

Beaten and disturbed

Company deserved

[Verse 4]

Take off my boots

And I will love you

Take off my boots

And I will love you

Take off my boots

And I will love you

Take off my boots

And I will love you

[Verse 5]

Take off my boots

And I will love you

Take off my boots

And I will love you

Take off my boots

And I will love you

Take off my boots

And I will love
