Grandpa’s Red Boots

歌詞

[Verse 1] He said he’d be at church By half past eight But his hat was on The passenger seat Mama saw the boots That bright red pair Ain’t no Sunday shine Lyin’ there [Pre-Chorus] He got a grin Like he got away But the whole town knows What the old hands say [Chorus] Grandpa’s red boots Down by the river Grandpa’s red boots Tell on him quicker He swore “I’m home” But baby, that’s cute Grandpa’s red boots Red boots [Verse 2] He told Grandma, “Bess I’m fixin’ the fence” But he smelled like gin And cheap cologne scents There was a lipstick mark On his coffee cup And a name in his coat He couldn’t make up [Pre-Chorus] He kept on smile He kept on sayin’ “Don’t start trouble now” But trouble was stayin’ [Chorus] Grandpa’s red boots Down by the river Grandpa’s red boots Tell on him quicker He swore “I’m home” But baby, that’s cute Grandpa’s red boots Red boots [Bridge] Now Grandma don’t cry She just folds her arms Says “I raised six kids I know all your charms” So if he goes wanderin’ Past that front gate She’ll leave those red boots On the porch by eight [Final Chorus] Grandpa’s red boots Down by the river Grandpa’s red boots Tell on him quicker He swore “I’m home” But baby, that’s cute Grandpa’s red boots Red boots
