Subject: Lyr Add: COWBOY BOOTS (Dave Dudley)
I found these lyrics on the Internet and corrected them based on the recording at YouTube, (plus a dip into Wikipedia):
COWBOY BOOTS
Dave Dudley
1. Well, all of my life I been a-tryin' to save
To get a pair of cowboy boots.
Sixteen years of my life I gave
To get a pair of cowboy boots.
I wanna go where the money's free.
Hollywood is a-callin' me.
Oh, what a great big star I'll be
In a pair of cowboy boots!
2. Well, I'm a-gonna get on a TV show
In a pair of cowboy boots.
I'm a-gonna ride in a rodeo
In a pair of cowboy boots.
Well, I wanna go where the bad men lurk.
I wanna get a job and go to work
Givin' lessons to that Stoney Burke
In a pair of cowboy boots.
BRIDGE: Oh, give me a home
Where the swimmin' pools roam,
Where the money grows on trees,
And the gals all wanna be squeezed.
3. I'm a-gonna get there if I have to crawl
In a pair of cowboy boots,
Get in the movies and that ain't all,
In a pair of cowboy boots.
I'm gonna get me a leather vest,
A gun on my hip and a star on my chest.
I'll be the terror of the golden west
In a pair of cowboy boots.
REPEAT BRIDGE AND VERSE 3
In a pair of cowboy boots,
In a pair of cowboy boots,
In a pair of cowboy boots... [Fade]
