IF I HAD BOOTS LIKE EMMY LOU'S
|
|
I'D BE A COUNTRY STAR
|
|
WITH RHINESTONES ON MY BVD'S
|
|
AND A HUMMINGBIRD GUITAR
|
|
I'D BUY MYSELF THE BIGGEST BUS
|
|
THAT EVER GRACED THE TRACK
|
|
WITH A LOVESEAT FOR THE TWO OF US
|
|
AND A SWIMMING POOL IN BACK
|
|
IF I HAD BOOTS LIKE EMMY LOU'S
|
|
I'D WEAR MY HAIR LIKE LORETTA USED TO DO
|
|
I'D SING LIKE PATSY CLINE
|
|
AND KITTY WELLS COMBINED
|
|
IF I HAD BOOTS LIKE EMMY LOU'S
|
|
I'D NEVER NEED A SHINE
|
|
IF I HAD BOOTS LIKE EMMY LOU'S
|
|
I'D BE SO VERY RICH
|
|
I'D HIRE A DOG TO SCRATCH ME
|
|
EVERY TIME I GOT AN ITCH
|
|
I'D BUY A THOUSAND CADILLACS
|
|
WITH LONGHORNS ON THE FRONT
|
|
DRIVE ONE 'TIL THE ASHTRAY FILLED
|
|
THEN HAUL IT TO THE DUMP
|
|
IF I HAD BOOTS LIKE EMMY LOU'S
|
|
I'D WEAR MY HAIR LIKE LORETTA USED TO DO
|
|
I'D SING LIKE PATSY CLINE
|
|
AND KITTY WELLS COMBINED
|
|
IF I HAD BOOTS LIKE EMMY LOU'S
|
|
I'D NEVER NEED A SHINE
|
|
I'D BUY MY CLOTHES FROM NUDIE
|
|
HAVE FINGERNAILS LIKE TAMMY
|
|
I'D TEASE MY HAIR LIKE DOLLY
|
|
AND MEASURE TEN FEET TALL
|
|
I'D TEACH THOSE BOOTS TO SING
|
|
PLAY FIDDLE ON ONE STRING
|
|
IF I HAD BOOTS LIKE EMMY LOU'S
|
|
I'D NEVER NEED A RING
|
|
IF I HAD BOOTS LIKE EMMY LOU'S
|
|
I'D DIE WITHOUT A CARE
|
|
FLY STRAIGHT UP TO HEAVEN'S GATE
|
|
AND PUSH MY WAY IN THERE
|
|
AND WHEN SAINT PETER ASKED ME
|
|
WHAT I'D DONE TO BE SO BOLD
|
|
I'D POINT DOWN TO MY BOOTS AND SAY
|
|
"THEY'RE RECENTLY RESOLED"
|
|
SO FIT ME FOR A ROBE
|
|
WINGS AND HALO TOO
|
|
BUT I CANNOT STAY IF YOU TAKE AWAY
|
|
MY BOOTS LIKE EMMY LOU'S
|
|
IF I HAD BOOTS LIKE EMMY LOU'S
|
|
I'D WEAR MY HAIR LIKE LORETTA USED TO DO
|
|
I'D SING LIKE PATSY CLINE
|
|
AND KITTY WELLS COMBINED
|
|
IF I HAD BOOTS LIKE EMMY LOU'S
|
|
I'D NEVER NEED A SHINE
