Thirsty Boots

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You've long been on the open road Just sleeping in the rain From dirty words and muddy cells Your clothes are smeared and stained But the dirty words and muddy cells Will soon be hid in shame So only stop to rest yourself 'Til you are off again [Chorus] So take off your thirsty boots And stay for awhile Your feet are hot and weary From a dusty mile Maybe I can make you laugh Maybe I can try Just looking for the evening The morning in your eyes [Verse 2] Tell me of the ones you saw As far as you could see Across the plains from field to town Just marching to be free And of the rusted prison gates That tumble by dеgree Like laughing children one by onе They look like you and me [Chorus] So take off your thirsty boots And stay for awhile Your feet are hot and weary From a dusty mile Maybe I can make you laugh Maybe I can try Just looking for the evening The morning in your eyes [Verse 3] Know you are no stranger down The crooked rainbow trails From dancing cliff-edge shattered sills Of slandered shackled jails For the voices drift up from below Well, as the walls they're being scaled Yes, all of this and more, my friend Your song shall not be failed [Verse 1] Yes, you've long been on the open road Just sleeping in the rain From dirty words and muddy cells Your clothes are soiled and stained But the dirty words and the muddy cells Will soon be judged insane So only stop to rest yourself 'Til you are off again [Chorus] And take off your thirsty boots And stay for awhile Your feet are hot and weary From a dusty mile Maybe I can make you laugh Maybe I can try Just looking for the evening The morning in your eyes
