Sneakers and Boots (Acoustic)

I wore sneakers and he wore boots

He'd get tired and need a minute or two

He ruled that house with a heavy hand

Taught me what it takes to be a man

To walk in those boots for just one day

I often wonder what he'd say

I thank the lord every morning for my old man

Just in case I don't get the chance

I thank the lord for those ole boots

I wonder what a mile was like in those shoes

My Daddy always taught me who our Daddy was

Cause he's the only one we could really trust

Both had laces

One had dirt

Both had soul

One had hurt

I could never

Pay you back

Those boots are worth way more than that

He kept us in church and busy on the farm

It kept us out of trouble and free from harm

I look back on memories of old

Life without him can make you cold

I thank the lord for those ole boots

I wonder what a mile was like in those shoes

My Daddy always taught me who our Daddy was

Cause he's the only one we could really trust

Both had laces

One had dirt

Both had soul

One had hurt

I could never ever pay you back

Those boots are worth way more than that

Three Generations of our Hard work

Little bit of dirt never really hurt

Dirty Uniforms and Dirtier boots

Never were the kind to wear pressed suits

Work all day for an honest wage

Come home and find some Amazing Grace

Both had laces

One had dirt

Both had soul

One had hurt

I could never ever pay you back

Those boots are worth way more than that

I hope he knows my love is true

Cause now he wears sneakers and I wear boots
