I never get to where I'm going
It's always some place new
Running from the past with every shot of Jack
And Jim on this bar stool
I can't tie myself down
To watch the dusk turn into dawn
I might hang up my hat
But I'll leave my boots on
When I found what I was looking for
It felt like I was dreaming
'Til she slammed the door to my old Ford
And told me that she's leaving
A different town, a different girl
'Til I figure out what went wrong
I might lay somewhere new
But I'll leave my boots on
I really hate to be this way
But I've been burned before
Been a lot of nights and a lot of fights
And beer spilt on this floor
It don't much bother me
I got a heart made out of stone
I might hand you my coat
But I'll leave my boots on
When I found what I was looking for
It felt like I was dreaming
'Til she slammed the door to my old Ford
And told me that she's leaving
A different town, a different girl
'Til I figure out what went wrong
I might lay somewhere new
But I'll leave my boots on
I can't lie to myself
You ain't no good for me
When I look ahead
Or look behind
The only thing I see
Is your smiling eyes
I miss those times
I thought we'd always be
It turns out what you want
Ain't always what you need
Cause when I found what I was looking for
It felt like I was dreaming
'Til she slammed the door to my old Ford
And told me that she's leaving
A different town a different girl
'Til I figure out what went wrong
I might lay somewhere new
But I'll leave my boots on
Might lay somewhere new
But I'll leave my boots on
