Thirsty Boots

[Verse 1]
You've long been on the open road
Just sleeping in the rain
From dirty words and muddy cells
Your clothes are smeared and stained
But the dirty words and muddy cells
Will soon be hid in shame
So only stop to rest yourself
'Til you are off again

[Chorus]
So take off your thirsty boots
And stay for awhile
Your feet are hot and weary
From a dusty mile
Maybe I can make you laugh
Maybe I can try
Just looking for the evening
The morning in your eyes

[Verse 2]
Tell me of the ones you saw
As far as you could see
Across the plains from field to town
Just marching to be free
And of the rusted prison gates
That tumble by dеgree
Like laughing children one by onе
They look like you and me

[Chorus]
So take off your thirsty boots
And stay for awhile
Your feet are hot and weary
From a dusty mile
Maybe I can make you laugh
Maybe I can try
Just looking for the evening
The morning in your eyes

[Verse 3]
Know you are no stranger down
The crooked rainbow trails
From dancing cliff-edge shattered sills
Of slandered shackled jails
For the voices drift up from below
Well, as the walls they're being scaled
Yes, all of this and more, my friend
Your song shall not be failed

[Verse 1]
Yes, you've long been on the open road
Just sleeping in the rain
From dirty words and muddy cells
Your clothes are soiled and stained
But the dirty words and the muddy cells
Will soon be judged insane
So only stop to rest yourself
'Til you are off again

[Chorus]
And take off your thirsty boots
And stay for awhile
Your feet are hot and weary
From a dusty mile
Maybe I can make you laugh
Maybe I can try
Just looking for the evening
The morning in your eyes
