Sneakers and Boots

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
