[Chorus 1]
My Gboots are of leather they are black at the Dmseams
And we Gtravel together sometimes in blue Dmjeans
[Verse 2]
From DmNew York to London and Ceverywhere that I've been should I Cdie and get to heaven I'll be Dmwearin' them then
Should I Dmlive to be 100 and Ccan't walk at all I will Cleave my boots on for they Dmmake me feel tall

GLately I find myself only thinking of Dmher
Like GTennessee whiskey so golden and Dmpure
As I Groll through moonlight like a nomadic Dmrogue
On Gaccount of mixed emotions and on account of the Dmroad
My Cskin is made for pleasure, but my boots are made of Dmleather
