Pair Of Boots

Real Tree wrapping paper, red ribbon 'round the box

Pulled 'em out, and I put 'em on, couldn't tell you what else I got

Yeah, I thought I was ten-foot tall, running 'round the living room

If you ask me, the best thing anybody could ever do

Buy a boy a pair of boots, he'll wear 'em till he wears 'em out

He won't know it yet

But he's a step ahead 'fore they ever hit the ground

Watch him put 'em on and see the man he grows into

Buy a boy a pair of boots

He'll dance 'em like he's got two left ones

Keep the right one full of lead

Kick up dust on a Friday night

With the worst part of his Sunday best

He'll be shakin' in 'em while he's waitin' in 'em as

She walks down wearin' that white

For better or worse

He'll kick 'em off by hers for the rest of his life

Buy a boy a pair of boots, he'll wear 'em till he wears 'em out

He won't know it yet

But he's a step ahead 'fore they ever hit the ground

Watch him put 'em on and see the man he grows into

Buy a boy a pair of boots

First thing I did when I found out he was on the way

Is drove my truck to the country store, picked out them baby snakes

Eighty-something dollars on the counter, a couple of tears in my eyes

Yeah, I knew right then how Daddy felt when he bought mine

Buy a boy a pair of boots, he'll wear 'em till he wears 'em out

He won't know it yet

But he's a step ahead 'fore they ever hit the ground

Watch him put 'em on and see the man he grows into

Buy a boy a pair of boots
