The Boot – Alan JacksonBy Well, the rain was comin’ down sidewaysWhen he made it into the barThe water got through the hole in his bootSo, he sat down to take it offAnd he saw me sittin’ up on a barstoolWatchin’ TV and drinkin’ beerAnd I said, “What the hell happened to you, boyThat you wound up in here”So, he told me all about herAnd how good things had beenAnd how it all got tough with the money and loveAnd I was drinkin’ and listenin’ to himWhen he got to the part about leavin’And gettin’ caught out in the stormI took another sip of my beerSet the bottle down on the bar and saidIt’s your lifeAnd I’m not you, but if I wereI’d put my foot in the bootPut the boot in the truckPut the truck in the roadAnd go home to herWell, he told me it was complicatedAnd I just shook my headI said, “You wanna see hard, try livin’ in barsYour whole life tryin’ to forget”‘Cause I lost a girl like yours onceAnd buddy, you better believeI wouldn’t be sittin’ here talkin’ to youIf somebody’d said to meIt’s your lifeAnd I’m not you, but if I wereI’d put my foot in the bootPut the boot in the truckPut the truck in the roadAnd go home to herWhen he told her about the rainThe boot, the bar and meI bet she smiled and cried just a littleHe put his foot in the bootPut the boot in the truckPut the truck on the roadAnd went home to her www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
