These Boots Are Made for Walkin'
Lee Hazlewood
Here's a little song about boots and a darling named Nancy
You keep saying you got something for me
Something you call love, but confess
You've been messing where you shouldn't have been messing
That's right
Someone else is getting all your best
These boots are made for walking
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
This is the part of the song where Billy Strange
Raised his hand and asked if he could leave the room
You keep lying when you ought to be truthful
And you keep losing when you ought to not bet
And you keep saming when you ought to be changing
Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet
Listen to me
These boots are made for walking
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
And this is the part of the record where
Everybody said, "Why, that can't be number one."
You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing
And you keep thinking that you'll never get burned
Well I just found me a brand new box of matches
And what she knows you ain't had time to learn
These boots are made for walking
And that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
You put on your boots and I'll put on mine
And we'll sell a million records any old time, yeah!
This is the part of the record where the engineer, Eddie Brackett
Said, "If we don't fade this thing out, we're all gonna be arrested."
