Midland Worn Out Boots Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The fool that I am
Tries to tell myself I'm a
Ramblin' man
With lots of friends around so
Ain't no use for a woman's touch 'round here

I was doin' fine
With nothin' in my fridge but
This ol' box of wine
And that's pretty much how I lived
Until she came around and knocked the dust off my shades

[Chorus]
Just like my worn out boots
Where the rain comes through
I was empty deep down inside but
When I hold you I
I feel alright and
When I hold you I
I feel alright

[Verse 2]
She knocked me down
Threw cold water on me
I almost drowned
Then she pulled me up and
Slapped my face told me "Things gonna change round here"

She called my friends
Told 'em "Don't you ever give those" "Pills to him"
"He's goin' clean and we ain't"
"Ever goin' to show our faces in that lonesome bar"

[Chorus]
Just like my worn out boots
I was just bad news
I was empty deep down inside but
When I hold you I
I feel alright
When I hold you I
I feel alright

[Bridge]
Like my damn fool heart of stone
I tried to go on without her love
And there I'd sit on that barstool alone
Singin' along with those heartbreak songs
So long

[Chorus]
Just like my worn out boots
Where the rain comes through
I was empty deep down inside but
When I hold you I
I feel alright and
When I hold you I
I feel alright and
When I hold you I
