Ten pairs of boots ago
Co-op seven years old
Got 'em with room to grow
'Cause Daddy told me so
If I wasn't Jake the Snake
in 'em
I was d*mn John Wayne
in 'em
By the time I turned eight
in 'em
Thought I was grown as
I was only
Eight pairs of boots ago
Halfway past twelve years old
Baptist church
stained glass glow
I went down to save my soul
Man I swore I felt the call
in 'em
I was gonna walk the walk
in 'em
I never touched alcohol
in 'em
But like them Justins
Messed that up just
Six pairs of boots ago
Eighteen met Jack and Coke
Then tore off down that road
Hard hеad as them steel toes
Left undеr a bed left cold
A different girl every night
in 'em
And I was kickin' out the lights
in 'em
Devil walkin' by my side
in 'em
The next four pairs just
led me nowhere
Two pairs of boots ago
She said it's mine she knows
I d*mn near dropped the phone
I thought my life was gone
And I was thinkin' oh d*mn
in 'em
Had to face Gods plan
in 'em
But I became a man
in 'em
Came full circle
Found my purpose
One pair of boots ago
Co-op with my four-year-old
I said leave room to grow
I know how that story goes
