Bob Dylan - Thirsty Boots lyrics

You've long been on the open road You've been sleepin in the rain From the dirt of words and mud of cell Your clothes are smeared and stained But the dirty words and muddy cells Will soon be judged insane So only stop and rest yourself Till you are 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 And maybe I can try I'm just lookin' for the evening And the morning in your eyes But tell me of the ones you saw As far as you could see Across the plain from field to town Marching to be free And of the rusted prison gates That tumbled by degree Like laughing children one by one Who looked like you and me 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 And 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 slender shackled jails But the voices drift up from below As the walls are being scaled All of this and more my friend Your song shall not be failed Then 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 And maybe I can try I'm just lookin' for the evening And the morning in your eyes
