They were made to ride and ramble They were made for desert stars They ain't broke in till they've broken A few horses and some hearts Kickin' dust up instead of habits Got some bad ones they should lose That's why they call 'em cowboy boots They were made to count a band off Two-step across the floor Push down on the throttle Hide a bottle, kick down doors They'll make you feel ten feet tall And cool like Chris LeDoux That's why they call 'em cowboy boots Don't be surprised They got a warning in their name And the one that's got 'em on Can't take all the blame They got a reckless reputation that they always live up to That's why they call 'em cowboy boots They were made to crush a beer can Stomp out a cigarette They were made to wear till they wear out So I ain't hung mine up yet They're good at holding ground But these ropers ain't got roots That's why they call 'em cowboy boots Don't be surprised They got a warning in their name And the one that's got 'em on Can't take all the blame They got a reckless reputation that they always live up to That's why they call 'em cowboy boots They're good at goodbye Gettin' gone's what they do I had to learn the hard way That cowgirls wear 'em too Don't be surprised They got a warning in their name And the one that's got 'em on Can't take all the blame They got a reckless reputation that they always live up to Rollin' in just like the wind and leavin' right out the blue Yeah, they always do That's why they call 'em cowboy boots
