Dead South, The - Boots Lyrics






Seven long years, I waited for you
You played your games, I played mine too
While I wait for you
Courting calls and lots of hurt
Girls are crying and I'm lying in the dirt
Trying to make this work
I'm a big jerk, fooled by your smirk

Pulled out your gun, shooting me with words
Right through the head, oh, just like I deserve
Throw me to the curb
All them old folks gathering round me
Point and laugh, oh, while they watch me bleed
I'm starting to believe
This is not a dream
Completely obscene

Bury me, in the cold hard ground
Throw my body in while I'm lying down
Then you steal my crown
Before you leave me lying in the dirt
Take off my boots and give em to the herd
All them sad words
Beaten and disturbed
Company deserved

Take off my boots
And I will love you
...

    Dead south 👈🏾⚰

  46. E.... C....

    Who's the bass? #whoisthebass

  47. E.... C....

    I am a little confused about the bass with this band, as y'all only show someone with a cello... and cello is definitely in your music. Where's the bass coming from?

  48. C.... ....

    To specify their genre, it's modern-folk bluegrass. There are quite a few in Tennessee where I go quite often.

  49. L.... D....

    These harmonies and rhythms are SUPER. And the plot of the song is always so ironic and funny. 😍

  50. D.... B....

    ME OLSO

    D.... B....

    Hola Maribel de nuevo la información que me has enviado no me interesa

    I love y’all!! I’m a Texan and please come to Texas you’ll be welcomed with open arms and barbecue brisket at Franklin‘s. 🥰

  54. D.... G....

    I hope he didn't hurt his back when he picked her up.

  55. B.... I....

    I always wondered why they cut the girl off in the last scene.

  56. J.... F....

    And that how they got a new subscriber.

  57. G.... R....

    Hey.... I've been to Wadena, lmao.

  65. T.... W....

    Love this band, so great, I need copyright permission for a few of these songs!!!

  66. N.... ....

    The songs is called 'Boots' and in the first frame, there were boots!!!

  67. B.... O....

    How odd to see Eliza throughout the video, but then in the final scene Colton's back!

  68. R.... M....

    ESpectacular !

  69. d.... k....

    This song rocks! Terfs are a major problem within the trans community, and they must be dealt with very swiftly and severely.

  70. A.... B....

  74. s.... ....

  75. T.... K....

  77. H.... C....

  78. D.... D....

    Forget her and grab the guitar

  79. T.... T....

    aka "Lost n found: The two hamsters" ^^ - jk. Great job.

  80. K.... J....

    I don't want to compare - I just found this band and LOVE IT!!!! but remind me of Mumford and Sons...

    K.... J....

    They're known as "Mumford & Sons' evil twins!"

    K.... J....

    @Marvin the Maniac LOL!!! You got that right - I love this band!

    K.... J....

    @Kat Jasper they've been called everything from Amish to Mennonite to Jewish to Mumford & Sons' evil twins.

  81. a.... ....

    Wild seeing Wadena in the music video, I have a lot of family that lives there, I even noticed some filming done in Kuroki

  82. m.... p....

    Sounds like a Trampled by Turtles tune.

  83. v.... t....

    To whom hit the dislike button, you have no taste in music!

  84. J.... H....

    Man, I'm trying to find my long lost half brother right now and came at the perfect time.

  85. t.... ....

    I can't quite make any sense of why at the very beginning a female character is playing the banjo and then switches back to the original guy in the final minutes of the video. Seems mysterious to me.

    "The Mysterious Dead South". Hhmm..

  86. K.... K....

    Wadena Saskatchewan! My family is from Saskatchewan and we used to go to Manitou Lake when I was a child (a long time ago). I remember passing the road sign for Wadena knowing that meant we were almost at our destination.

  87. j.... l....

    Falaram muito bom

  88. S.... I....

    Just came from Rock in Rio and its 5+ stages. You know what? Missed you there.

  89. M.... ....

    mariachi

  90. A.... K....

    Dead South's banjo player is like Spinal Tap's drummer. Every song has a banjo, but every video has a different banjo player :)

  91. M.... N....

    I like this stuff. Normally I can't stand sappy kind of music or folk southern type tunes but this is pretty cool. Diggin' it. I like the singer's voice raspy and with grit. Strummin' strings.. pretty simple and pure.

  92. b.... ....

    You guys have some phenomenal banjo player ( and the rest of you ain't bad either! ) 😉

  93. L.... C....

    Favorite song of theirs

  94. U.... ....

    einfach nur geiler scheiss

  95. Y.... P....

    Прикольно

  96. Q.... B....

    You can't leave me for anyone else.

  97. Q.... B....

    Jesus, that is, I. Is with you. Tab, come to me, I'll be good.

  98. S.... H....

    Come to Chicago mf'ers!
    *Edit* I know it's a metro area, but fellow Illinoians still fuck are cousins down in the southern parts! Lmao

  99. D.... ....

    0:48 STOP THE FUCKING CAR!!! We're not going anywhere without my god damn hat.
    Why didn't that happen?
