"Earn Your Spurs" lyrics

He pulled 'em off of his boot heels
And threw 'em in his half-ton
Walked into that dive bar
Thought it was time he had one
Corner of his eye, he caught a smirk under a Stetson
Laughing at that bow-legged way he was stepping

You can talk that talk
But let me tell you something
Till you walk that walk
Man, it don't mean nothing

That hat has seen more neon than it has the rising sun
That buckle don't mean anything unless that gold's been won
That pearl snap on your back ain't had a full day's worth of work
Anyone can buy the boots, but you gotta earn your spurs

Until you spend your summers driving fence posts and cattle
Freezing fingers in the winter, throwin' hoolys from the saddle
Brand 'em in the springtime and sell 'em all come fall
I hate to break it to you, but we ain't the same at all

You can talk that talk
But let me tell you something
Till you walk that walk
Man, it don't mean nothing

That hat has seen more neon than it has the rising sun
That buckle don't mean anything unless that gold's been won
That pearl snap on your back ain't had a full day's worth of work
Anyone can buy the boots, but you gotta earn your spurs

No, the clothes don't make the man
You earn your spurs when the cow shit hits the fan

That hat has seen more neon than it has the rising sun
That buckle don't mean anything unless that gold's been won
That pearl snap on your back ain't had a full day's worth of work
Anyone can buy the boots, but you gotta earn your spurs

You gotta earn your spurs
