Old Man's Boots

[00:12.63] My old man's shoes were steel toed boots
[00:15.82] Ripped up rawhide leather
[00:19.24] Seams splittin' like the Red Sea
[00:21.70] So duct tape held 'em together
[00:24.91] They worn more tread than a Firestone
[00:27.91] Underneath a '65 Fastback Ford
[00:31.32] Size 12 wide, spent Saturday nights
[00:34.53] Cuttin' rug on a bar room floor
[00:37.39] They weren't built for speed
[00:39.08] They weren't built for comfort
[00:40.87] But you can bet that they were buildin' somethin'
[00:44.25] Might not look like much to you
[00:46.80] But there wasn't really much they couldn't walk through
[00:50.03] They weren't flashy
[00:51.64] They weren't classy
[00:53.26] But they made him workin' class happy
[00:55.89] And I'd be lucky
[00:59.28] I'd be lucky to walk a mile in my old man's boots
[01:09.40] They didn't bring home a fortune
[01:12.09] But we were fortunate doin' just fine
[01:15.46] Sunrise to bed
[01:17.14] They kept us fed and the lights on most the time
[01:21.89] Some out of joint rips on the laces
[01:24.49] Scuffed up, scarred from heel to toe
[01:27.93] Looked twice their age on a good day
[01:31.30] Broken in don't even come close
[01:34.06] They weren't built for speed
[01:35.69] They weren't built for comfort
[01:37.77] But you can bet that they were buildin' somethin'
[01:41.19] Might not look like much to you
[01:43.64] But there wasn't really much they couldn't walk through
[01:46.70] They weren't flashy
[01:48.31] They weren't classy
[01:49.99] But they made him workin' class happy
[01:52.71] And I'd be lucky
[01:56.12] I'd be lucky to walk a mile in my old man's boots
[02:01.28]
[02:17.21] They didn't bring home a fortune
[02:20.03] But we were fortunate for doing just fine
[02:24.45] They weren't built for speed
[02:26.30] They weren't built for comfort
[02:28.12] But you can bet that they were buildin' somethin'
[02:31.62] They might've not looked like much to you
[02:34.25] But there wasn't really much they couldn't walk through
[02:37.33] They weren't flashy
[02:39.06] They weren't classy
[02:40.60] But they made him workin' class happy
[02:43.20] And I'd be lucky
[02:46.75] I'd be lucky to walk a mile in my old man's boots
[02:57.48] My old man's boots
