The Boots I Came to Town In

I remember when I saw them I was just 17 The finest work of leather I'd ever seen I laid down my last dollar wore 'em out the door with pride They were the boots I came to town in every Friday night Through swinging doors on saw dust floors They kicked their heels up high From Tulsa down to Baton Rouge to Hollywood and vine We chased our dream sometimes it seemed the climb was all up hill But the boots I came to town in were never standing still The boots I came to town in once were shiny new Now these old soles have got some holes From all that they've been through They take me where I am going They know where I've been The boots I came to town in Remind me who I am They drove that hammer down to Music City USA They held up my shaking legs on the opry stage In looking back I'm proud to sa Through all the ups and downs The boots I came to town in always foot their ground Now I dreamed about this special night And man there's quite a crowd If they call my name I'll be walking proud My head's up in the clouds but I am on solid ground 'Cause the boots I came to town in are underneath this sequined gown The boots I came to town in once were shiny new Now these old soles have got some holes From all that they've been through They take me where I am going They know where I've been The boots I came to town in Remind me who I am The boots I came to town in Will take me home again
