I remember when I saw them I was just seven-teen
The finest work of leather I'd ever seen
I laid down my last dollar wore 'em out the door with pride
They were the boots I came to town in every Friday night
Through swinging doors on saw dust floors They kicked their heels up high
From Tulsa down to Baton Rouge to Hollywood and vine
We chased our dream sometimes it seemed the climb was all up hill
But the boots I came to town in were never standing still
The boots I came to town in Once were shiny new
Now these old soles have got some holes From all that they've been through
They take me where I am going They know where I've been
The boots I came to town in Re-mind me who I am
They drove that hammer down to Music City U S A
They held up my shaking legs on the opry stage
In looking back I'm proud to say Through all the ups and downs
The boots I came to town in al-ways foot their ground
Now I dreamed about this special night And man there's quite a crowd
If they call my name I'll be walking proud
My head's up in the clouds but I am on solid ground
Cause the boots I came to town in are under-neath this sequined gown
The boots I came to town in Once were shiny new
Now these old soles have got some holes From all that they've been through
They take me where I am going They know where I've been
The boots I came to town in Re-mind me who I am
The boots I came to town in Will take me home again
