Verse 1:
C                   F             C
Beaumont to Odessa, God knows wherever
                                    G
They're old, but I'll betcha, can't buy em off the shelf
      C                  F               Am
These stories of living, stitched in the grain
       F                         G
When I wear em, I remember, from where I once came

Chorus:
      C                       Dm7
Yeah, my father's boots I can ride I can shoot
             C/E                              F
There's just something in the soul that's all leather and truth
       Am            G                F              C/E
Put em on stand your ground take them off, hand them down
       Dm           C/E         F        G           C
So the next one can walk in the roots of his fathers boots


Verse 2:
C                                F             C
He bought em in Houston, wore em right out the door
                         G
He broke em in, spinnin' mom round the floor
     C                          F            Am
Even covered in dust, they're a damn work of art
F                   G
They're on my feet, he's in my heart


Chorus:
      C                       Dm7
Yeah, my father's boots I can ride I can shoot
             C/E                              F
There's just something in the soul that's all leather and truth
       Am            G                F              C/E
Put em on stand your ground take them off, hand them down
       Dm           C/E         F        G           C
So the next one can walk in the roots of his fathers boots

Verse 3:
        C                    F            C
You can wear out a shirt, it comes and it goes
                               G
But this cowhide and dirt, has decades to go
       C                   F        Am
That's family history, wherever you run
   F                              G
So wear them with pride, now that your time has come


Chorus:
      C                       Dm7
Yeah, my father's boots I can ride I can shoot
             C/E                              F
There's just something in the soul that's all leather and truth
       Am            G                F              C/E
Put em on stand your ground take them off, hand them down
       Dm           C/E         F
So the next one can walk in the roots
        Dm          C/E            F    G
When he wears them, he'll think of you, and his father's boots
