Eric Andersen - Thirsty Boots Lyrics
(Verse 1)You've long been onthe open road,sleepin' in the rainFrom dirty wordsand muddy cells,your clothesare smeared and stainedBut the dirty words and muddy cellswill soon be judged insaneSo only stop to rest yourselftil you are off again(Chorus)And take offyour thirsty boots and stayfor a whileYour feet are hot and wearyfrom a dusty mileAnd maybe I canmake you laugh, maybe I can tryI'm just lookin' for the eveningThe morning in your eyes(Verse 3)But tell me of the ones you sawas far as you could seeAcross the plain from fieldsto town a-marchin' to be freeAnd of the rusted prison gatesthat tumbled by decreeLike laughin' children one byone they looked like you and me(Chorus)So take offyour thirsty boots and stayfor a whileYour feet are hot and wearyfrom a dusty mileAnd maybe I canmake you laugh, maybe I can tryI'm just lookin' for the eveningand the morning in your eyes(Instrumental)(Verse 3)I know you are no stranger downthe crooked rainbow trailsFrom dancing cliff-edgedshattered sills of slandershackled jailsFor the voices drift up frombelow as the walls are being scaledYes, of this and more, my friendyour song shall not be failed(Chorus)So take offyour thirsty boots and stayfor a whileYour feet are hot and wearyfrom a dusty mileAnd maybe I canmake you laugh, maybe I can tryI'm just lookin' for the eveningthe morning in your eyes(Verse 1)Yes, you've long been onthe open road,just sleepin' in the rainFrom dirty wordsand muddy cells,your clothesare smeared and stainedBut the dirty words and muddycells will soonbe hid in shameSo only stop and rest yourselftil you'll be off again(Chorus)So take offyour thirsty boots and stayfor a whileYour feet are hot and wearyfrom a dusty mileAnd maybe I canmake you laugh, maybe I can tryI'm just lookin' for the eveningand the morning in your eyes
