lyrics

I've owned
Two pairs of boots
All of my life
One on my feet the other on the shelf
Them I save for night
I don't expect them to fit good
They make me feel fine
They make me feel all right

I look down and see my friends walking a long long time
I look down I loose my friends walking a long long time
Most of the life I spend waiting for night to come
Hoping for night to come
Cause I got a special pair of boots shiny on my shelf
Sitting all alone

No one knows I know
No one knows I know
I can't take them off I can't take them down
I gotta sit on that shelf till night says I can be my self
I got a special pair of boots
Shiny all alone
And I walk around waiting for the time
I can be myself

I've owned two pairs of boots for one pair of feet
Most of all of my life
I keep the nice ones shiny while night waits to come
Its heel's an echo on my life
Now the only pair of boots I need are what I own
I think I'll leave those others on the shelf and spend more time with the old
So many things
I'll never know
I wonder if I'll be old
But not if I don't grow
Not if I don't grow

Got a shiny pair of boots sitting on the shelf and old ones on me feet
