Lyrics

You keep saying you've got something for me
Something you call love but confess
You've been a-messin' where
You shouldn't of been a-messin'
And now someone else is getting all your best

These boots are made for walkin'
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are
Gonna walk all over you

You keep lying when you ought to be truth-en
And you keep losing when you ought not to bet
You keep saming when you ought-a be-a changing
Now what is right is right but you ain't been right yet

These boots are made for walkin'
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are
Gonna walk all over you

You keep playing where you shouldn't be-a playing
And you keep thinking that you'll never get burned
Ha... I just found me a brand new box of matches
And what you know you ain't have time to learn

These boots are made for walkin'
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are
Gonna walk all over you

Are you ready boots?
Start walkin'!
