Old Man's Boots - Brothers Osborne

作词：John Osborne

作曲：John Osborne

[Verse 1]

My old man's shoes were steel toed boots

Hooked up rawhide leather

Seams splitin' like the Red sea

So duct tape held 'em together

They worn more tread than a Firestone underneath a '65 Fastback Ford

Size 12 wide spent Saturday nights cuttin' rug on a bar room floor

[Chorus]

They weren't built for speed they weren't built for comfort

But you can bet that they were buildin' somethin'

Might not look like much to you but there wasn't really much they couldn't walk through

They weren't flashy they weren't classy

But they made him workin' class happy

And I'd be lucky I'd be lucky to walk a mile in my old man's boots

[Verse 2]

They didn't bring home a fortune but we were fortunate doin' just fine

Sun rised a bit they kept us fed and the lights on most the time

Some out of joint on the laces scuffed up and scared from heal to toe

Looked twice their age on a good day

Broken in don't even come close

[Chorus]

They weren't built for speed they weren't built for comfort

But you can bet that they were buildin' somethin'

Might not look like much to you but there wasn't really much they couldn't walk through

They weren't flashy they weren't classy

But they made him workin' class happy

And I'd be lucky I'd be lucky to walk a mile in my old man's boots

[Bridge]

They didn't bring home a fortune

But we were fortunate for doing just fine

[Chorus]

They weren't built for speed they weren't built for comfort

But you can bet that they were buildin' somethin'

Might not look like much to you but there wasn't really much they couldn't walk through

They weren't flashy they weren't classy

But they made him workin' class happy

And I'd be lucky I'd be lucky to walk a mile in my old man's boots

My old man's boots
