Ten Pairs Of Boots Lyrics by Riley Green
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 damn 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
Went down to save my soul
Man I swore I felt a call in ‘em
I was gonna walk the walk in ‘em
I never touched alcohol in ‘em
But just like them Justin’s messed that up
Just six pairs of boots ago
Eighteen met jack and coke
And tore off down that road
Hard head as them steel toes
Left under 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
Next four pairs just let me know where
Two pairs of boots ago
She said it’s mine she knows
I damn near dropped the phone
I thought my life was gone
I was thinkin’ aw damn 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
