Lyrics
Pick up to six lines to make a card.
Ten pairs of boots ago
Co-op seven years old
Got 'em with room to grow
'Cause daddy told me so
If I wasn't Jake the Snake in 'em
I was damn John Wayne in 'em
By the time I turned eight in 'em
Thought I was grown as I was only
Eight pairs of boots ago
Halfway past 12 years old
Baptist church stained glass glow
Went down to save my soul
Man, I swear I felt a call in 'em
I was gonna walk the walk in 'em
I never touched alcohol in 'em
But liked them just as messed that up
Just six pairs of boots ago
18, met Jack and Coke
And tore off down that road
Hard head as them steel toes
Left under beds, left cold
A different girl every night in 'em
I was kickin' out the lights in 'em
Devil walkin' by my side in 'em
Next four pairs just led me nowhere
Two pairs of boots ago
She said it's mine she knows
I damn near dropped the phone
I thought my life was gone
I was thinkin' all damned in 'em
Had to face God's plan in 'em
But I became a man in 'em
Came full circle, found my purpose
One pair of boots ago
Co-op with my four-year-old
I said leave room to grow
I know how that story goes
