Those Boots (Deddy's Song)

Mama kept a mat there by the door

So Deddy could kick 'em off and let the mud dry on the porch

They wouldn't stay there long

Before I had 'em inside on

Going clickety clack and scratching up Mama's floor

Next morning he'd say Lainey bring 'em here

And I'd drag 'em from my room straight to his chair

He'd put 'em on his feet

They'd always bunch up his jeans

Well I made it my job to pull 'em back over the top

Of those boots, they walk right with the Lord

Those boots would only drive a Ford

Those boots made a damn good living

Spun my mama all around the kitchen

Those boots will never go out of style

One day they'll walk me down the aisle

I pray everyday, one day I will

Find a man to fill

Those boots

Yeah, twenty years and a couple re-soles later

He still makes the time for a combine ride with Mama on them forty acres

And he's sure made it hard

To find that kind of heart

The kind that holds it all together

With all that love and leather

Those boots, they walk right with the Lord

Those boots would only drive a Ford

Those boots made a damn good living

Spun my mama all around the kitchen

Those boots will never go out of style

One day they'll walk me down the aisle

I pray everyday, one day I will

Find a man to fill

Those boots

Those beat up ole size tens

They ain't nothing without him

But man, when he steps in those boots

Those boots they walk right with the Lord

Those boots would only drive a Ford

Those boots made a damn good living

Spun my mama all around the kitchen

Those boots will never go out of style

One day they'll walk me down the aisle

I pray everyday one day I will

Find a man to fill

Those boots

Those boots
