By The Boots Songtext
von Malcolm Holcombe

by the boots

dont take away my guns and bullets
dont leave me here to die
down here in this ol bunker
full o′ fear and a crazy mind
full o' fear and a crazy mind

i was raised hard in these ol hills
baptised drinkin′ shine
survivin's what i'm trained to do
and fightin′ for my pride
fightin′ for my pride

i heard him on the tv
take what you can get
some politician grinnin'
dont trust the government
dont trust the government


my medicine′s a runnin' low
i cant afford them pills
doctor′s got me strung out cold
and no more dreams to fill
i got no more dreams to fill

ev'rybody′s out to get me
nobody understands
what i am is who i am
with a rifle in my hand
i gotta a rifle in my hand

one day they're comin' for me
one day i told ya so
and i′ll be ready for em
shoot to kill is all i know
shoot to kill is all in know

the shattered speak with broken words
they tear the wounds wide open
spoken only understood
by boots comin′ and goin'
boots comin′ and goin'
