                              THE BOOT
                            ALAN JACKSON

INTRO:
D  A  G A D

VERSE:
           D
Well, the rain was comin` down sideways
         A
When he made it into the bar
     G
The water got through the hole in his boot
        D                   A
So, he sat down to take it off

        D
And he saw me sittin` up on a barstool
         A
Watchin` TV and drinkin` beer
              G
And I said, `What the hell happened to you, boy
      D               A
That you wound up in here?`


VERSE:
        D
So, he told me all about her
         A
And how good things had been
     G
And how it all got tough with the money and love
           D                         A
And I was drinkin` and listenin` to him

         D
When he got to the part about leavin`
             A
And gettin` caught out in the storm
   G
I took another sip of my beer
         D                  A
Set the bottle down on the bar

And said ...


CHORUS:
 G         D
It`s your life
     G       D             A
And I`m not you, but if I were

                        D
I`d put my foot in the boot
                     A
Put the boot in the truck
                      G
Put the truck in the road
 A              D   D
And go home to her


VERSE:
          D
Well, he told me it was complicated
    A
And I just shook my head
              G
I said, `You wanna see hard, try livin` in bars
      D                       A
Your whole life tryin` to forget`

          D
`Cause I lost a girl like yours once
     A
And buddy, you better believe
   G
I wouldn`t be sittin` here talkin` to you
    D                 A
If somebody`d said to me


CHORUS:
 G         D
It`s your life
     G       D             A
And I`m not you, but if I were

                        D
I`d put my foot in the boot
                     A
Put the boot in the truck
                      G
Put the truck in the road
 A              D   D
And go home to her


BREAK:
         Bm        A        G
When he told her about the rain
     Bm        A      G
The boot, the bar and me
           D
I bet she smiled
                  A
And cried just a little


CHORUS:
                        D
He put his foot in the boot
                     A
Put the boot in the truck
                      G
Put the truck on the road
 A                D
And went home to her
