Pair Of Boots

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Realtree wrappin' paper, red ribbon 'round the box Pulled 'em out, and I put 'em on, couldn't tell you what else I got Yeah, I thought I was ten-foot tall, runnin' 'round the living room If you ask me, the best thing anybody could ever do [Chorus] Buy a boy a pair of boots, he'll wear 'em 'til he wears 'em out He won't know it yet, but he's a step ahead 'fore they ever hit the ground Watch him put 'em on and see the man he grows into Buy a boy a pair of boots [Verse 2] He'll dance 'em like he's got two left ones, keep the right one full of lead Kick up dust on a Friday night with the worst part of his Sunday best He'll be shakin' in 'em while he's waitin' in 'em as she walks down wearin' that white For better or worse, he'll kick 'em off by hers for the rest of his life [Chorus] Buy a boy a pair of boots, he'll wear 'em till he wears 'em out He won't know it yet, but he's a step ahead 'fore they ever hit the ground Watch him put 'em on and see the man he grows into Buy a boy a pair of boots [Bridge] First thing I did when I found out he was on the way Is drove my truck to the country store, picked out them baby snakes Eighty-somethin' dollars on the counter, a couple tears in my eyes Yeah, I knew right then how Daddy felt when he bought mine [Chorus] Buy a boy a pair of boots, he'll wear 'em till he wears 'em out He won't know it yet, but he's a step ahead 'fore they ever hit the ground Watch him put 'em on and see the man he grows into Buy a boy a pair of boots Buy a boy a pair of boots
