lyrics

Dirty Boots (Okunbor, C)

The grass grows greener on a distant shore,
But then the rain’s gotta pour down a whole lot more.
You can run away from trouble and hide from strife,
Find more rainbows in a distant life.

When you leave my boots outside the door,
Your worries at the back porch floor
You leave your dirty, muddy boots outside the door.

Never been to heaven but some folks say,
We’re living in a land of milk and honey.
Get some animals. Plant some trees,
And I’ll sing to all the stones in a mountain stream.

When I leave my boots outside the door,
My worries at the back porch floor
I’ll leave my dirty, muddy boots outside the door.

Sorrows may come and fears get sown,
Troubles start rattlin’ the old home’s bones.
Well the rain may patter and the rain may pour,
But the sun’s gonna’ shine down a whole lot more.

I’ll leave my boots outside the door,
Worries at the back porch floor
I leave my dirty, muddy boots outside.

Never been to heaven but some folks say,
We’re living in a land of milk and honey.
