BOOTS, BADGES & SHOOTIN' IRONS w&m: bill mallonee c. BMI 2019
I've worn these boots for many a season
from the cradle to how the West was won
sometime they helped me stand tall
sometimes i think they helped me run

Stand tall against every vestige lawlessness
that seems to be-devil this fair land
One time I put away some desperados
They gave me this badge

Brother, there's no meaner vocation
than being the long arm of the law's claims
I did my best to get the job
Sometimes it made me ashamed

Now boots, badges and shootin' irons
Could never win your heart
When i first laid eyes on you? I swear to you the waves did part
And if i get a little distant? Probably just a little time i need
Sometimes, I catch myself a-pondering
how i might have done things differently
