From the recording Turn Me Around
Lyrics
In My Father’s boots
In my father’s boots
I slid right in
The smell of old leather hit my nose
In my father’s boots
All withered and worn
Telling me the places that he would go
I slid them on like he once did
Tied up the laces like he once did
Bows upon bows like he once did
Hugging me tight like he once did
In my father’s boots, boots, boots yeah.
In my father’s boots.
I could never fault the man
To me he was perfect
His boots they wore some scares
But underneath the surface he was a man who loved and nurtured me up from a kid
Loving me like his own father did
In my father’s boots, boots, boots yeah.
In my father’s boots.
In my father’s boots I walked
Clear and strong on a path like he once did
Then I stopped retraced my steps took off them boots
That’s when a boy becomes a man.
In my father’s boots, boots, boots yeah.
In my father’s boots.
Oh in my father’s boots walked
Yeah, I grew up strong
