these old boots have roots

yeah these old boots have roots

just like my last name

i swear i will never bring it shame

yeah these old boots have roots

when the winds are bitter cold

i know this love of ours will hold

yeah these old boots have roots

so i march to the beat of my heart pounding like a drum

let 'em run me down

but i'll stand my ground

no i won't forsake or forget where i come from

i swear i'll never break your heart

only wanna make you smile

these old boots want nothing more than to walk you down the aisle

these old boots have roots

yeah these old boots have roots

they told the mark to walk the line

girl only you can make them shine

yeah these old boots have roots

they're tested

tried and true

walking side by side by you

yeah these old boots have roots

so i march to the beat of my heart pounding like a drum

let 'em run me down

but i'll stand my ground

no i won't forsake or forget where i come from

i swear i'll never break your heart

only wanna make you smile

these old boots want nothing more than to walk you down the aisle

these old boots have roots

yeah these old boots have roots

they haul a heavy load

down a long and winding road

yeah these old boots have roots

strong as a live oak tree

someday you can bury me in

these old boots

so i march to the beat of my heart pounding like a drum

let 'em run me down

but i'll stand my ground

no i won't forsake or forget where i come from

i swear i'll never break your heart

only wanna make you smile

these old boots want nothing more than to walk you down the aisle

i'll never bend for a dream

god knows i'll never trade them in

for some shallow hearted soul bouncing back and forth again

yeah these old boots have roots

yeah these old boots have roots

baby these old boots have roots
