[Verse 1]
D#m B
Yeah, these old boots have roots
G#m A#m
Just like my last name, I swear I will never bring it shame
D#m B
Yeah, these old boots have roots.
G#m A#m
When the winds are bitter cold, I know this love of ours will hold
D#m B A#m
These old boots have roots
[Chorus]
D#m B G#m A#m
So I march to the beat of my heart pounding like a drum
D#m B
Let 'em run me down, but I'll stand my ground
G#m A#m
No, I won't forsake or forget where I come from
D#m B
I swear I'll never break your heart, only wanna make you smile
G#m A#m
These old boots want nothing more than to walk you down the aisle
D#m B A#m
These old boots have roots
[Verse 2]
D#m B
Yeah, these old boots have roots
G#m A#m
They told the mark to walk the line, girl, only you can make them shine
D#m B
Yeah, these old boots have roots
G#m A#m
They're tested, tried and true, walking side by side by you
D#m B A#m
These old boots have roots
[Chorus]
D#m B G#m A#m
So I march to the beat of my heart pounding like a drum
D#m B
Let 'em run me down, but I'll stand my ground
G#m A#m
No, I won't forsake or forget where I come from
D#m B
I swear I'll never break your heart, only wanna make you smile
G#m A#m
These old boots want nothing more than to walk you down the aisle
D#m B A#m
These old boots have roots
[Bridge]
D#m B
Yeah, these old boots have roots
G#m A#m
They haul a heavy load, down a long and winding road
D#m B
Yeah these old boots have roots
G#m A#m
Strong as a live oak tree, someday you can bury me in
D#m B
These old boots
[Chorus]
D#m B G#m A#m
So I march to the beat of my heart pounding like a drum
D#m B
Let 'em run me down, but I'll stand my ground
G#m A#m
No, I won't forsake or forget where I come from
D#m B
I swear I'll never break your heart, only wanna make you smile
D#m B G#m A#m
These old boots want nothing more than to walk you down the aisle
D#m B
I'll never bend for a dream, God knows I'll never trade them in
G#m A#m
For some shallow hearted soul bouncing back and forth again
D#m B
Yeah, these old boots have roots
G#m A#m
Yeah, these old boots have roots
D#m B
Baby. these old boots have roots
