They were made to ride and rumble

They were made for desert stars

They ain′t broke in 'til they′ve brokenA few horses and some hearts

Kickin' dust-up instead of habits

Got some bad ones they should lose

That's why they call ′em cowboy boots

They were made to count a band off

Two-step across the floor

Push down on the throttle

Hide a bottle, kick down doors

They′ll make you feel ten feet tall

And cool like Chris LeDoux

That's why they call ′em cowboy boots

Don't be surprised

They got a warnin′ in their name

And the one that's got ′em on

Can't take all the blame

They got a reckless reputation

That they always live up to

That's why they call ′em cowboy boots

They were made to crush a beer can

Stomp out a cigarette

They were made to wear ′til they wear out

So I ain't hung mine up yet

They′re good at holdin' ground

These ropers ain′t got roots

That's why they call ′em cowboy boots

Don't be surprised

They got a warnin' in their name

And the one that′s got ′em on

Can't take all the blame

They got a reckless reputation

That they always live up to

That′s why they call 'em cowboy boots

They′re good at goodbye

Gettin' gone′s what they do

I had to learn the hard way

That cowgirls wear 'em too

Don't be surprised

They got a warnin′ in their name

And the one that′s got 'em on

Hey, can′t take all the blame

They got a reckless reputation

That they always live up to

Rollin' in just like the wind

And leavin′ right out of the blue

Yeah, they always do

That's why they call ′em cowboy boots
