Papaw's Sunday Boots! Lyrics - Bill Anderson

The first time that I saw them 

he was wearing them to church. 

They weren't all scruffed and scratchy 

like the ones he wore to work. 

He was just a common man 

He didn't even own a suit 

But you could see the pride 

reflecting in the shine of Papaw's sunday boots. 

Every time he wore them 

I couldn't help but stare. 

I guess one day he noticed 

cause he sat down in his chair. 

He slipped them off and said Son 

why don't you try them on. 

They might not fit you now 

but they'll be yours someday when I'm gone.

Even after all this time 

I still can't fill his shoes 

but i wouldn't take a million dollars for Papaw's sunday boots. 

It wasn't till our wedding day 

that I took them from the bars. 

Still they didn't fit me 

so I wore two pairs of socks. 

Set them in the closet 

I didn't wear them for a while. 

till I put them on the day that we brought home 

our first new born child. 

And now I've made a special list 

the things I want to do before i'm gone. 

I want to wear them out on that opera stage 

and sing his favorite song.

and then my last request. 

Make sure I'm wearing Papaw's sunday boots 

the day I'm laid to rest. 

Even after all this time 

I still can't fill his shoes. 

but I wouldn't take a million dollars for Papaw's sunday boots. 

And just think 

The next time that I see him 

I'll be wearing Papaw's sunday boots.
