Leave My Boots On Lyrics

I never get to where I'm going

It's always some place new

Running from the past with every shot of Jack

And Jim on this bar stool

I can't tie myself down

To watch the dusk turn into dawn

I might hang up my hat

But I'll leave my boots on

When I found what I was looking for

It felt like I was dreaming

'Til she slammed the door to my old Ford

And told me that she's leaving

A different town, a different girl

'Til I figure out what went wrong

I might lay somewhere new

But I'll leave my boots on

I really hate to be this way

But I've been burned before

Been a lot of nights and a lot of fights

And beer spilt on this floor

It don't much bother me

I got a heart made out of stone

I might hand you my coat

But I'll leave my boots on

When I found what I was looking for

It felt like I was dreaming

'Til she slammed the door to my old Ford

And told me that she's leaving

A different town, a different girl

'Til I figure out what went wrong

I might lay somewhere new

But I'll leave my boots on

I can't lie to myself

You ain't no good for me

When I look ahead

Or look behind

The only thing I see

Is your smiling eyes

I miss those times

I thought we'd always be

It turns out what you want

Ain't always what you need

Cause when I found what I was looking for

It felt like I was dreaming

'Til she slammed the door to my old Ford

And told me that she's leaving

A different town a different girl

'Til I figure out what went wrong

I might lay somewhere new

But I'll leave my boots on

Might lay somewhere new

But I'll leave my boots on
