Boots Like Emmy Lou’s (Live)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If I had boots like Emmy Lou's I'd be a country star I'd have rhinestones on my BVD's And a hummingbird guitar (That's my country audience) I'd buy myself the biggest bus To ever grace the track I'd have a loveseat for the two of us And a swimming pool in back [Chorus] If I had boots like Emmy Lou's I'd wear my hair like Loretta used to do I'd sing like Patsy Cline And Kitty Wells combined If I had boots like Emmy Lou's I'd never need a shine (I warned you) [Verse 2] If I had boots like Emmy Lou's I'd be so very rich I'd hire a dog to scratch me Every time I got an itch I'd buy a thousand Cadillacs I'd put longhorns in the front I'd drive 'em 'til the ashtray filled Then haul 'em to the dump [Chorus] If I had boots like Emmy Lou's I'd wear my hair like Loretta used to do I'd sing like Patsy Cline And Kitty Wells combined If I had boots like Emmy Lou's I'd never need a shine [Bridge] I'd buy my clothes from Nudie Have fingernails like Tammy I'd tease my hair like Dolly And measure ten feet tall I'd teach those boots to talk We'd lecture in New York If I had boots like Emmy Lou's I'd never need to walk, ha! [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] If I had boots like Emmy Lou's I'd die without a care Fly straight up to heaven's gate And shove my way in there And when Saint Peter asked me What I'd done to be so bold I'd point down to my boots and say "They're recently re-soled" [Outro] So fit me for a robe Give me wings and halo too I cannot stay if you take away My boots like Emmy Lou's I cannot stay if you take away My boots like Emmy Lou's
