Then tell me of the ones you saw, as far as you could see
I know you are no stranger down the crooked rainbow trail
And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try
So only stop and rest yourself and you'll be off again
But the dirty words and the mud of cells, will soon be judged insane
Oh, take off your thirsty boots and stay for awhile
Where the voices drift up from below, as walls are bein' scaled
From dancing cliff edge shattered sills, to slander shackled jails
Feet are hot and weary, from a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try
And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try
Lookin' for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes
Oh, take off your thirsty boots and stay for awhile
Just lookin' for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes
Across the plains from field to town, marchin' to be free
Like laughing children one by one, they look like you and me
So take off your thirsty boots and stay for awhile
Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile
Just lookin' for the evenin' and the mornin' in your eyes
And maybe I can make you laugh and maybe I can try
Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile
And of the rusted prison gates, that tumble by degree
Yes, all of this and more my friend your song shall not be failed
So take off your thirsty boots and stay for awhile
Feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile
