In My Father's Boots

In my father’s boots
I slid right in
The smell of old leather hit my nose
In my father’s boots
All withered and worn
Telling me the places that he would go
I slid them on like he once did
Tied up the laces like he once did
Bows upon bows like he once did
Huggin' me tight like he once did
In my father’s boots boots boots yeah
In my father’s boots boots boots yeah
In my father’s boots boots boots yeah
In my father’s boots boots boots yeah
In my father’s boots
In my father’s boots yeah
Well I could never fault the man, to me he was perfect
His boots they wore some scars
But underneath the surface
He was a man who loved and nurtured me up from a kid
Lovin' me like his own father did
In my father’s boots boots boots yeah
In my father’s boots boots boots yeah
In my father’s boots boots boots yeah
In my father’s boots I walk
Clear and strong on a path like he once did
And I stopped, retraced my steps, took off them boots
That’s when a boy become a man
In my father’s boots boots boots yeah
In my father’s boots boots boots yeah
In my father’s boots boots boots yeah
In my father’s boots boots boots yeah
In my father’s boots
In my father’s boots I walked
(fade out)
