The Boot

歌詞

Well, the rain was comin' down sideways When he made it into the bar The water got through the hole in his boot So, he sat down to take it off And he saw me sittin' up on a barstool Watchin' TV and drinkin' beer And I said, "What the hell happened to you, boy That you wound up in here" So, he told me all about her And how good things had been And how it all got tough with the money and love And I was drinkin' and listenin' to him When he got to the part about leavin' And gettin' caught out in the storm I took another sip of my beer Set the bottle down on the bar and said It's your life And I'm not you, but if I were I'd put my foot in the boot Put the boot in the truck Put the truck in the road And go home to her Well, he told me it was complicated And I just shook my head I said, "You wanna see hard, try livin' in bars Your whole life tryin' to forget" 'Cause I lost a girl like yours once And buddy, you better believe I wouldn't be sittin' here talkin' to you If somebody'd said to me It's your life And I'm not you, but if I were I'd put my foot in the boot Put the boot in the truck Put the truck in the road And go home to her When he told her about the rain The boot, the bar and me I bet she smiled and cried just a little He put his foot in the boot Put the boot in the truck Put the truck on the road And went home to her
