A Dozen Pairs Of Boots

Looks everywhere I go always get myself in trouble
'Cause the girls I pick on ain't the safest kind
And I wind up running barefoot through everything but clover
'Cause the neck I value most of all is mine

That's why I left the blue shirt hanging on the bed post in Seattle
My Levi's float on San Francisco Bay
And I left a Stetson hanging in a hallway down in Dallas
And a dozen pair of boots along the way

Now Betty was a sweet thing I'd been courtin' in Seattle
She swore to me she was nobody's wife
So how was I to know she had a friend as big as Dallas
And I traded one blue shirt for one good life

That's why I left the blue shirt hanging on the bed post in Seattle
My Levi's float on San Francisco Bay
And I left a Stetson hanging in a hallway down in Dallas
And a dozen pair of boots along the way

Now Betty had a big yacht we anchored in the harbor
She swore she was alone at least today
When he climbed aboard I swam to shore praying I could get 'dere
'Cause my Levi's when I made my get-a-way

That's why I left the blue shirt hanging on the bed post in Seattle
My Levi's float on San Francisco Bay
And I left a Stetson hanging in a hallway down in Dallas
And a dozen pair of boots along the way

That's why I left the blue shirt hanging on the bed post in Seattle
My Levi's float on San Francisco Bay
And I left a Stetson hanging in a hallway down in Dallas
And a dozen pair of boots along the way
