Thirsty Boots Lyrics - John Denver

Thirsty Boots 

This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the I Want To Live 

album, and has also been released on The Rocky Mountain Collection and The 

Country Roads Collection albums. 

You've long been on the open road 

You've been sleepin' in the rain 

From dirty words and muddy cells 

You're clothes are soiled and stained 

But the dirty words, the mud of cells 

Will soon be judged insane 

So only stop and rest yourself 

And you'll be off again

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Oh take off your thirsty boots 

And stay for awhile 

Your feet are hard and weary 

From a dusty mile 

And maybe I can make you laugh 

And maybe I can try 

Lookin' for the evening 

And the morning 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 tumbled by degree 

Like laughing children one by one 

They look like you and me 

Photos 

So take off your thirsty boots 

And stay for awhile 

Your feet are hard and weary 

From a dusty mile 

And maybe I can make you laugh 

And maybe I can try 

Just lookin' for the evening 

And the morning in your eyes 

I know you are no stranger now 

A crooked rainbow trail 

From dancing cliffheads shattered sills 

To slander shackled jails 

Where the voices drift up from below 

Its walls are being scaled 

Yes, all of this, and more my friend 

Your song SHALL not be failed
