Thirsty Boots Lyrics - Singles - Denver John

You've long been on the open road you've been sleepin' in the rain 

From dirty words and muddy cells your clothes are soiled and stained 

But the dirty words and the mud of cells will soon be judged insane 

So only stop and rest yourself and you'll be off again 

Oh 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 

Lookin' for the evenin' 

And the mornin' in your eyes 

Then tell me of the ones you saw 

As far as you could see 

Across the plains from field to town 

Marchin' to be free 

And of the rusted prison gates that tumble by degree 

Like laughing children one by one 

They look like you and me 

So 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 lookin' for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes 

I know you are no stranger down the crooked rainbow trial 

From dancing cliff edge shattered sills to slander shackled jails 

Where the voices drift up from below as walls are bein' scaled 

Yes all of this and more my friend your song shall not be failed 

Oh 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 lookin for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes 

So 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 

Lookin' for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes.
