If You Ain’t Wearin’ Boots
[Verse 1]
If you've never seen the splendor of a rising sun
As the dew across the pastures fade away
Or you've never seen the wonder of a million stars
And thank the Lord you got to see another day
[Pre-Chorus]
It's all okay if it ain't your style
Come on in and stay a while
[Chorus]
And let Grandpa tell you stories 'bout the way things used to be
Back when roads were dirt and church was seven days a week
And your brother'd help you up and never kick you while you're down
And the neighborhood would raise you when your mama wasn't 'round
No, it may not be for you
But if thе shoe don't fit
It's 'cause you ain't wearing boots
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
If your lovеr is your other half, that makes your house a home
And the tire swing is where the kids can play
We could drive on out to Swallow Fork, those cabins built in '34
Can you imagine, they're still standing there today
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't need a time machine to lead the way
'Cause that simple kind of life still lives today
[Chorus]
Just let Grandpa tell you stories 'bout the way things used to be
Back when roads were dirt and church was seven days a week
And your brother'd help you up and never kick you while you're down
And the neighborhood would raise you when your mama wasn't 'round
No, it may not be for you
But if the shoe don't fit
It's 'cause you ain't wearing boots
[Post-Chorus]
No, you ain't wearing boots
[Bridge]
When this crazy world has got you spinning 'round
Sit on the porch and grab a drink and slow it down
[Chorus]
And let Grandpa tell you stories 'bout the way things used to be
Back when roads were dirt and church was seven days a week
And your brother'd help you up and never kick you while you're down
And the neighborhood would raise you when your mama wasn't 'round
No, it may not be for you
But if the shoe don't fit
It's 'cause you ain't wearing boots
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
