Boots
Written By: Brent Beamer
He bought em' at a parking lot sale
Outside of Wichita on a Tuesday afternoon
He wore em' the night he met his first wife,
But that was a couple soles ago
He wore em' out on the town
He always had trouble if a woman ever came around
He was a lightning rod,
With Fireball breath made of war memories
He had a tongue with words that could cut
He fought for his old lady's honor more than once
He fought with his old lady too
After he got back from Iraq he wasn't the same dude
I guess he had a proper send off,
Standing outside the yard in nice black clothes
The friend I knew wouldn't a cared what we wore there,
But he would have the loved the guy playing taps on his
Trumpet
He's rattling down the road somewhere
Without his boots, their sitting in my house
His old lady gave them to me
She said she couldn't live with them cause she couldn't
live without my friend
