I'm wearing my favorite boots today They fit perfectly, Since Ive finally broken them in It took a while to wear my footprint into their soles But now my body has beaten the leather Until it curls around me. They are comfortable, practical The tongue used to stick out and squeak with ever step But don't worry, I silenced it. I've laced my boots up tight Don't want to be too big now Don't want to be loose I can't let you slip away from me again. I top the knot off with a little bow Still got to be pretty What are you if you're not pretty? They have scuffs and scratches and cuts and bruises But that's just because of all the fun I've had Sometimes I clean them up a bit A little spit and polish, and they're good as new A little spit and polish, and everything's okay again But they're getting worn down, I can see it in your eyes- I can see it in their eyelets But I know they can't walk away After all, who else could they fit so perfectly?
