Thirsty Boots (Extended version)-Eric Andersen

Thirsty Boots (Extended version) - Eric Andersen You've long been on the open road, sleepin' in the rain From dirty words and muddy cells, your clothes are smeared and stained But the dirty words and muddy cells will soon be judged insane So only stop to rest yourself til you are off again And take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh, maybe I can try I'm just lookin' for the evening The morning in your eyes But tell me of the ones you saw as far as you could see Across the plain from fields to town a-marchin' to be free And of the rusted prison gates that tumbled by decree Like laughin' children one by one they looked like you and me So take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh, maybe I can try I'm just lookin' for the evening and the morning in your eyes I know you are no stranger down the crooked rainbow trails From dancing cliff-edged shattered sills of slander shackled jails For the voices drift up from below as the walls are being scaled Yes, of this and more, my friend your song shall not be failed So take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh, maybe I can try I'm just lookin' for the evening the morning in your eyes Yes, you've long been on the open road, just sleepin' in the rain From dirty words and muddy cells, your clothes are smeared and stained But the dirty words and muddy cells will soon be hid in shame So only stop and rest yourself til you'll be off again So take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile And maybe I can make you laugh, maybe I can try I'm just lookin' for the evening and the morning in your eyes
