The way he looks you in the eye The way he shakes your hand The way he says "yes, sir" and "yes, ma'am" The way he just don't quit The way he's wild and free The way he reminds me of me He's walking in my boots, doing what I do Acting like I did, talking like I talk It scares me to death 'cause when I look at him Is everywhere I've been just where he's headed to? He's walking in my boots He's gonna get thrown off He's gonna lose and win He's gonna climb back on and get thrown off again He's gonna go too fast Gonna drink more than a few Yeah, that boy's gonna break a heart or two He's walking in my boots, doing what I do Acting like I did, talking like I talk It scares me to death 'cause when I look at him Is everywhere I've been just where he's headed to? He's walking in my boots Oh He's gonna live and learn Gonna find out which bridge to cross and which to burn Walking in my boots, doing what I do Acting like I did, talking like I talk It scares me to death 'cause when I look at him Is everywhere I've been just where he's headed to? He's walking in my boots He's walking in my boots
