Holes In His Boots

He’s got holes in his boots and he’s wearing tattered old jeans The state of his worn-out clothes borders on obscene He hasn’t had a home-cooked meal in more than a year You’re just too busy gambling and slugging down cheap beer You haven’t said you love him or given him a kiss without asking him for something or giving him a list You haven’t slept together or gone out as a pair and all those times he’s needed you you were every where but there So if you want to charge me with stealing your man away I think you ought to listen carefully To what I have to say……. You made it so damn easy You just have to know You might as well have wrapped him up And tied him with a bow You gave your man away the day you cease to care about who he was our how he felt or what he had to wear You gave your man away don’t pretend that he was lost You gave your man away Neglect too has its cost You gave your man away and now that he is mine I’m going to shower him with love each and every day - come rain or shine He’s needs a haircut badly He’s got holes in both his socks He can’t get into the house again Because you changed the locks He’s lonely on the sofa He’s lonely in his car He’s lonely at his buddy’s party wondering where you are You argued when you were together You complained when you were not You didn’t give him much attention and resented any that he got When it came time to make decisions you always disagreed You’ve never seemed to follow when he tried to lead You didn’t listen to his problems or rejoice at his success Then you have the nerve to wonder why your marriage has digressed You made it so damn easy You just have to know You might as well have wrapped him up And tied him with a bow You gave your man away the day you cease to care about who he was our how he felt or what he had to wear You gave your man away don’t pretend that he was lost You gave your man away Neglect too has its cost You gave your man away and now that he is mine I’m going to shower him with love each and every day - come rain or shine He’s got holes in his boots He’s got a big hole in his heart And I’m going to fill that hole And I can’t wait to start
