Intro: E
E
You keep saying you've got something for me
Something you call love, but confess
A
That you've been messing where you shouldn't have been messing ~verse 1~
E
And now someone else is getting all your best
G E
Well these boots are made for walkin'
G E
And that's what they'll do
G E ~Chorus~
One of these days these boots
(E)
Are gonna walk all over you
E
And you keep lying when you ought to be truthful
And you keep losing when you ought to not bet
A
Yeah and you keep same-ing when you ought to be changing ~verse 2~
E
Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet
~~~Chorus~~~
E
And you keep playing where you shouldn't be playing
And you keep thinking that you'll never get burnt
A
Yeah well I just found me a brand new box of matches ~verse 3~
E
And what do you know, you ain't got time to learn
~~~Chorus~~~
E
Are you ready, boots? Start walking ~Outro~
stay on E until the end
