Eric Church - These Boots Lyrics






These boots have counted off many a band
Playing one night roadhouse stands
For tips in empty rooms
These boots have stood toe-to-toe
with the biggest baddest joes
Like they had some things to prove
These boots

Yeah these boots more than once have saved my ass
Like the time they hid that grass
From those cops in Tupelo
And these boots have danced with the devil
and nearly lost that battle
to a wild-eyed Irish Rose

[Chorus:]
I wore out more soles than I care to count
Done more stupid things than most would dare to
I've kicked myself more times than not
for the roads they led me down
but the damndest thing I've ever seen them do
is walkin' out on you.

These boots had to see California
and an Arizona morning where God paints the sky
And these boots had to spur that beast in Cheyenne
Thought that bull'd make me a real man
I still drag that leg sometimes

[Chorus]

Now these boots are one step from the door
They walked out of years before
I can almost see her now
These boots ought to kick that door aside
Stomp out my foolish pride
But they just turn around
Damn these boots
Damn these boots
These boots

    Probably my favorite Eric Church song, alongside "those I've loved" and, his newest, "some of it".
    Although I love all of his songs, I've lived these lyrics and have walked that path.
    "I've done more stupid things than most would dare too".

  7. m.... ....

    "These Boots have danced with the Devil and nearly lost that battle to Wild Irish Rose" -EC

    M.... N....

    Michelle Nordyke roots*

    M.... N....

    @Dylan Sanford nah, rose.

    M.... N....

    It's rose, it's a pretty nasty liquor you get at a gas station.

    M.... N....

    Michelle Nordyke he’ll ik I’m fucking wit ya

    M.... N....

    “ I’ve done more stupid things then most would dare to”-EC

  57. M.... N....

    solid song by Chief EC! These Boots and Sinners Like Me!!!

    M.... N....

    Michelle Nordyke true

  58. K.... D....

    can't believe this wasn't a number one hit

  59. M.... N....

    Why do people type the lyrics of the song into the comments, as if we can't hear it ourselves O.o

    M.... N....

    +Michael Nokes Some of us have difficulty making out exactly what it is the singer's sayin'; sometimes. The person posting the video is likely trying to be helpful. Others post the lyrics that speak to them personally. :-) It's sentimental!

    M.... N....

    Probably just typing out the parts that touch their soul.

    M.... N....

    Michael Nokes some of us can not hear

    M.... N....

    These Boots!!!!

  60. s.... b....

  68. C.... R....

    They've seen the Mississippi sunrise,
    And the tears in her eyes,
    On a could winter day.
    Yea these boots were all I had,
    So it wasn't so bad,
    When she walked away.

    They've got me through it all,
    And they always brace the fall,
    When I get knocked down.
    They just have a way of knowin,
    That when she gets to goin,
    Then it's time to turn around.

    Tried my best to add a couple verses that apply to my Justin's that I've had for 4 years. I'm not a great songwriter by any means, I actually think I'm terrible, but I'll cherish these boots forever.

    C.... R....

    I like your verses....good job!

    C.... R....

    Caleb Russell you're fucking stupid ain't you. I'll answer for you. YES YOU'RE FUCKING STUPID dumb shit

Bitch are you that FUCKING STUPID that you don't know the difference between AUDIOS (this) and VIDEOS??? This is as far from a VIDEO as you can get. This is literally the definition of an AUDIO. Get a fucking dictionary

    B.... K....

    @countrygirl country musiclover chris cagle- I'll grow my own- as long as schools are washing kids brains and teaching them to ride the gravy train I'll grow my own. I'm sure you were brain washed in school as well. Shouldnt hate over something do minute. That's ignorant t itself dont ya think?

  85. M.... ....

    THEE S BOO ST.  134 67 110 129.  ALPHA ADAM EVE META.  Damn THESE BOOTS! 

  86. E.... B....

    dirty old work boots and cowboy boots. only boots i wear!!!!!!

  87. F.... A....

    the 2 pairs of boots I wear are my Justins, and my bunker boots! Small town country boy volunteering in the fire department! Heck yea!

    F.... A....

    Finnyjim A same here but i prefer ariat. but hell my bunker boots are more comfortable. big howdy from palmer VFD

    F.... A....

    City of latrobe engine/ salvage here

    F.... A....

    Finnyjim A where my old Justin's to work everyday and my Tony Lama's every weekend

  88. M.... ....

    love this song!

  89. A.... S....

    What suck, and this has happened to me, is when you get so used to carrying one, that you for got to not take it in school, its a habit, and a darn good one.

  90. c.... ....

    I consider this man one of the greatest singer/song writers of
    My time. Incredible lyrical talent. At times it feels like this man wore my shoes and wrote songs about my life.

  91. C.... J....

    hell ya dont we all

  92. B.... C....

    It's ok man. I also read here somewhere that EC insulted Keith Urban's musicianship...which is somewhat disappointing to me. They are both incredible talents, but EC is not the plank spanker that KU is, by any means.
    Thinking about starting a support group.

  93. M.... W....

    Alright, I getcha. I just spent 20 minutes listening to both songs back and forth and I get it. Completely different songs but you are absolutely correct the back beat and tempo is almost identical. My bad folks, sometimes I'm blinded by my worship of EC....lol

  94. B.... C....

    Not even close? Really? Sounds A LOT like the Chapman tune, except the lyrics. Same progressions, same basic melody line. I'm a BIG E.C fan, but I finally checked this out just now...and much as I hate to say it, especially from a talent like E.C., but JEEEE-ZUS!! He didn't even hardly disguise it!
    Obviously EC's song is better, but he still should've given the nod to Chapman in some fashion.
    At least he did change the lyrics for the better. That Chapman song is WAY to sleepy.

  95. K.... C....

    don't understand why guns and knives are brought up lol if you read Eric's bio, he was engaged to a woman who's father tried to force him into business even though he wanted to pursue music, so he broke up with her and continued playing in sketchy bars....

  96. f.... ....

    but whatever you do, dont make a pistol out of a poptart, or little boys play army, cowboys indians, have a photo of a kid and a BB gun. .
