My Hornback Cowboy Boots (4:27)© 2006, all rights reserved I used to think I’d find My life in the bottom of a bottle Or tearin’ down 93 Goin’ flat out full throttle Cruisin’ down old Main Lookin’ for some deadbeat to fight Then realizin’ it was me Gonna be punchin’ out again tonight It ain’t a pretty picture That much I know After half of my lifetime At least it ain’t all I got to show I’ve been down so low I swear I seen rocks growin’ roots When it’s all said and done Still got my hornback cowboy boots When it comes to women Well I guess I’ve had my share Back of my pick-up truck Endeavorin’ to leave ‘em smilin’ and bare I once had a wife Or so I’ve been told But she up and left me Before I hit 20 years old Well, it ain’t a pretty picture That much I know After half of my lifetime At least it ain’t all I got to show I’ve been down so low I swear I seen rocks growin’ roots When it’s all said and done Still got my hornback cowboy boots I ain’t a prince Guess I’m a pauper Sometimes I try to turn myself around I cry out, Lord, it’s gonna get better Then I listen for the thud as I hit the ground My pick-up finally died Guess I’ll be stayin’ closer to home Shovel me some snow So I can walk to Moose’s alone Well, at least I got nobody Tellin’ me what to do Got TV, cold beers And the Wall Street Week In Review Well, it ain’t a pretty picture That much I know After half of my lifetime At least it ain’t all I got to show I’ve been down so low I swear I seen rocks growin’ roots When it’s all said and done Still got my hornback cowboy boots |
