The Boots

There's not much left for us to say

It's a don't come back here kind of day

There's only so much I can take

So many excuses I could make

To keep me crawling back to you

It's a long way back to the corner store

And we didn't even get what we came here for

So I'll take my bags and walk out that door

But if you ever come looking for me

I wear the boots under the streetlights

You'll see me on the corner of hate and denial

Just waiting for someone to come

And take me out of this town someday

I wear the boots between the stop signs

You'll see me in the back of a video store

Just waiting for a friend of a friend

That's gonna change my mind one day

Or so they say

I wear the boots

Can't shake this monster off my heels

So now I'm the fastest on four wheels

I'm out here rolling with the hills

I could come back but don't think I will

I'll just keep howling at the moon

It's a long way back from the corner store

And we didn't even get what we came here for

So I'll take my bags and walk out that door

But if you ever come looking for me

I wear the boots under the streetlights

You'll see me on the corner I'm begging and crying

Just waiting for someone to come

And take me out of this town someday

I wear the boots between the stop signs

You'll see me in the back of a video store

Just waiting for a friend of a friend

That's gonna change my mind one day

Or so they say

I wear the boots

I've gotta get something off my chest

I don't need you

I don't think about you anymore

And if we're walking the same path

Know that I'm not turning back

Cuz I wear the boots

On the corner of learning to let it go

And I'm waiting for anyone but you

And when my number comes up

I'll be heading out that door
