Sitting out on the terrace in my old rocking chair
With the heel of my boots resting high on the table Somehow I know it’s the last time I’ll wear them The leathers all faded and marked with age Each scuff mark, each stain, is a memory I treasure But their old worn out soles tells me it’s time To say a last adios to these boots, They’ve been good friends of mine, and looking back Boy, oh boy Me and these boots together Didn’t we have a good time There’s a stain I remember from a spilt glass of wine When you kissed me, as we stood, on that old dirt cow path It marked them forever, never rubbed off Will they ever forgive me for leavin’em When I tumbled hard and fell into love Lost and abandoned, like me, sad and forgotten I’ll never forget how in the morning, They looked, there on the floor, under your bed Boy oh boy, Me and these boots together Didn’t we have a good time Boy oh boy, Me and these boots together Didn’t we have a good time There’re scuff marks on the heels from hours of driving My old red Chevy down that long, lonely highway Crusin' late at night, wind blowin' through my hair, Me singing out loud, along with your songs Now the old red Chevy’s long gone, the boots well worn But the memories are engraved in the leather Carved like your name forever in Treasured moments I want to keep safe Boy oh boy, Me and these boots together Didn’t we have a good time The last time I wore them was with my new lace dress Sashayed out a while and drank a few jars with some friends Got up to dance, then put on that red Stetson hat Stood up on the stage and played make believe That I was a country and western singer But their old worn out soles tells me it’s time To say a last adios to these boots My best friends, boy,didn’t we have a good time Boy oh boy, Me and these boots together Didn’t we have a good time Now for the last time these boots have walked me your way So along with the boots I’ll keep the memories safe I’ll wait for a while until the tears dry Then close the lid on my box of keepsakes Now as I sit in my old rocking chair And remember with love the smiles, laughter and songs Each scuff mark, each stain is something to treasure But now it’s the time for that last adios Boy oh boy, Me and these boots together Didn’t we have a good time Boy oh boy, Me and these boots together Didn’t we have a good time
