BOOTS [ country, country-rock ] Click Here for Free Song Download Well, some folks have closets full of footwear, some can't afford a cheap pair of shoes An' you know, we can't take much with us when we go, except a soul we can't afford to lose Yeah, some live it up in beach-front mansions, while others clean out their garbage chutes But you don't know, why would you care, till you walk in my boots?        Till you walk in my boots        You don't know what my eyes have to see        You don't know the places I wake up in        Or the faces haunting my memory        I may own two ragged pair of jeans        And you may wear two-thousand-dollar suits        But you don't know, why would you care        Till you walk in my boots? You know, sometimes a life of wealth an' ease ain't quite as easy as it may seem And what can turn into a living nightmare may begin as a sweet innocent dream Yeah, some crooks are out to rob you blind with well-heeled bankers and lawyers in cahoots But you don't know, why would you care, till you walk in my boots?        Till you walk in my boots        You don't know what my ears have to hear        You don't know the broken roads I travel        From day to day and year to year        I may be playing a song that rarely rhymes        On a rusty horn that no longer toots        But you don't know, why would you care        Till you walk in my boots? Yeah, it's easy to ignore folks in wheelchairs and veterans with no home or place to be We don't know, why would we care, till it happens to you or me?        Till your boots march off to war        And sit beside a lonely hospital bed        Till they shuffle down skid row boulevard        Where but for grace yours go instead        Till they're buried in a flooded city        By a muddy pistol that no longer shoots        You don't know, why would you care        Till you walk in my boots?
