Thirsty Boots Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You've long been on the open road
You been sleepin' 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 hid in shame
So only stop to rest yourself and you'll go off again
[Chorus]
So take off your thirsty boots
And stay for awhile
Your feet are hot and weary
From a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh
And maybe I can try
I'm just lookin' for the evenin'
And the mornin' in your eyes
[Verse 2]
Then tell me of the ones you saw
As far as you could see
Across the plains from field to town
A-marchin' to be free
And of the rusted prison gates that tumble by degree
Like laughing children one by one
They look like you and me
[Chorus]
So take off your thirsty boots
And stay for a while
Your feet are hot and weary
From a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh
And maybe I can try
I'm just lookin' for the evenin'
The mornin' in your eyes
[Verse 3]
I know you are no stranger down
The crooked rainbow trail
From dancing cliff-edge shattered sills
Of slandered shackled jails
Where the voices drift up from below
As the walls are bein' scaled
Yes, all of this and more
Your song shall not be failed
[Chorus]
So take off your thirsty boots
And stay for a while
Your feet are hot and weary

From a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh
And maybe I can try
I'm just lookin for the evenin'
And the mornin' in your eyes
[Chorus]
So take off your thirsty boots
And stay for a while
Your feet are hot and weary
From a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh
And maybe I can try
I'm just lookin for the evenin'
And the mornin' in your eyes
[Verse 1, Reprise]
Yes, you've long been on the open road
You been sleepin' 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 hid in shame
So only stop to rest yourself and you'll go off again
[Chorus]
So take off your thirsty boots
And stay for a while
Your feet are hot and weary
From a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh
And maybe I can try
I'm just lookin for the evenin'
And the mornin' in your eyes
