Thirsty Boots

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
You've long been on the open roadYou've been sleepin in the rainFrom the dirty words and muddy cellsYour clothes are soiled and stainedBut the dirty words and muddy cellsWill soon be hid in shameSo only stop to rest yourselfTill you'll go off againSo take off your thirsty bootsAnd stay for awhileYour feet are hot and wearyFrom a dusty mileAnd maybe I can make you laughMaybe I can tryI'm just lookin' for the eveningAnd the morning in your eyesBut tell me of the ones you sawAs far as you could seeAcross the plain from field to townA-marching to be freeAnd of the rusted prison gatesThat tumbled by degreeLike laughing children one by oneWho looked like you and meSo take off your thirsty bootsAnd stay for awhileYour feet are hot and wearyFrom a dusty mileAnd maybe I can make you laughMaybe I can tryI'm just lookin' for the eveningAnd the morning in your eyesI know you are no stranger downThe crooked rainbow trailsFrom dancing cliff-edged shattered sillsOf slender shackled jailsBut the voices drift up from belowAs the walls they're being scaledAll of this and moreYour song shall not be failedSo take off your thirsty bootsAnd stay for awhileYour feet are hot and wearyFrom a dusty mileAnd maybe I can make you laughMaybe I can tryI'm just lookin' for the eveningAnd the morning in your eyes
