Quick Answer — Thirsty Boots Lyrics

[00:00.05] You've long been on the open road, you've been sleepin' in the rain [00:08.49] From dirty words and muddy cells, your clothes are soiled and stained [00:16.33] But the dirty words and the mud of cells will soon be judged insane [00:25.07] So only stop and rest yourself and you'll be off again

Thirsty Boots Full Lyrics

You've long been on the open road, you've been sleepin' in the rain From dirty words and muddy cells, your clothes are soiled and stained But the dirty words and the mud of cells will soon be judged insane So only stop and rest yourself and you'll be off again I know you are no stranger down the crooked rainbow trial From dancing cliff edge shattered sills to slander shackled jails Where the voices drift up from below as walls are bein' scaled Yes, all of this and more my friend your song shall not be faile So take off your thirsty boots And stay for awhile Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh And maybe I can try Just lookin' for the evenin' And the mornin' in your eyes Then tell me of the ones you saw As far as you could see Across the plains from field to town Marchin' to be free And of the rusted prison gates that tumble by degree Like laughing children one by one They look like you and me So take off your thirsty boots and stay for awhile Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try Just lookin' for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes
