"Leave Them Boots On" lyrics

There was a pair of old Tecovas underneath her bed
With "forever" on my mind while her head was on my chest
It's like heaven sent an angel down for me and no one else
But if I knew then what I know now I'd go back and tell myself

Leave them boots on, cowboy, hold on to them reins
Leave this one-horse town, boy, you don't wanna stay
'Cause her love will leave you wild 'til there's nothing left but pain
Leave them boots on, cowboy
Ride away

She was a heartbreak mustang, kind that you can't tame
Hell, I shoulda known
That that late-night last call lipstick outlaw would never be mine to hold
I wouldn't be so hurt if only
Yeah, somebody would've told me

Leave them boots on, cowboy, hold on to them reins
Leave this one-horse town, boy, you don't wanna stay
'Cause her love will leave you wild 'til there's nothing left but pain
Leave them boots on, cowboy
Ride away
Ride away

Leave them boots on, cowboy, hold on to them reins
Leave this one-horse town, boy, you don't wanna stay
You don't wanna stay
'Cause her love will leave you wild 'til there's nothing left but pain
Leave them boots, on cowboy
Ride away

She was a heartbreak mustang, kind that you can't tame
Hell, I shoulda known
Ride away
That that late-night last call lipstick outlaw would never be mine to hold
Ride away
