Thirsty Boots

Intro:(Acoustic lead piano and harmonica over) |  | | x4 verse 1: You’ve been long and on the open road You?ve been sleepin? in the rain. From the dirty words and muddy cells Your clothes are smeared and stained. But the dirty words and muddy cells Will soon be judged insane. So only stop and rest yourself   ?Til you are off again. And take off your thirsty boots And stay for awhile. Your feet are hot and weary   From a dusty mile. And maybe I can make you laugh And maybe I can try. Just looking for the evening And the mornin? in your eye. REFRAIN:(Acoustic lead over) |  | D| verse 2: Then tell me of the ones you saw As far as you could see. Across the plains from field to town   Marching to be free. And of the rusty prison gates That tumble by degree Like laughing children one by one   Who look like you and me. Then take off your thirsty boots And stay for awhile. Your feet are hot and weary   From a dusty mile. And maybe I can make you laugh And maybe I can try. Just looking for the evening And the mornin? in your eye. Instrumental:(Acoustic lead piano and harmonica over) |  | D| x4 verse 3: I know that you?re no stranger    Down the crooked rainbow trail. From dancing cliffheads shattered sills Of slandered shackled jails. But the voices drift up from below   As his walls are being scaled. And all of this   And more my friend   Your song shall not be failed. Then take off your thirsty boots And stay for awhile. Your feet are hot and weary   From a dusty mile. And maybe I can make you laugh And maybe I can try. Just looking for the evening And the mornin? in your eye. CODA:(Acoustic lead piano and harmonica over) |  | | x4     |         |
