Pair Of Boots

Real Tree wrapping paper, red ribbon 'round the box
Pulled 'em out, and I put 'em on, couldn't tell you what else I got
Yeah, I thought I was ten-foot tall, running 'round the living room
If you ask me, the best thing anybody could ever do

Buy a boy a pair of boots, he'll wear 'em till he wears 'em out
He won't know it yet, but he's a step ahead 'fore they ever hit the ground
Watch him put 'em on and see the man he grows into
Buy a boy a pair of boots

He'll dance 'em like he's got two left ones, keep the right one full of lead
Kick up dust on a Friday night with the worst part of his Sunday best
He'll be shakin' in 'em while he's waitin' in 'em as she walks down wearin' that white
For better or worse, he'll kick 'em off by hers for the rest of his life

Buy a boy a pair of boots, he'll wear 'em till he wears 'em out
He won't know it yet, but he's a step ahead 'fore they ever hit the ground
Watch him put 'em on and see the man he grows into
Buy a boy a pair of boots

First thing I did when I found out he was on the way
Is drove my truck to the country store, picked out them baby snakes
Eighty-something dollars on the counter, a couple of tears in my eyes
Yeah, I knew right then how Daddy felt when he bought mine

Buy a boy a pair of boots, he'll wear 'em till he wears 'em out
He won't know it yet, but he's a step ahead 'fore they ever hit the ground
Watch him put 'em on and see the man he grows into
Buy a boy a pair of boots
