Текст песни Thirsty Boots - Eric Andersen

You've long been on the open road, sleepin' in the rain
From dirty words and muddy cells
Your clothes are smeared and stained
But the dirty words and muddy cells will soon be judged insane
So only stop to rest yourself, till you are off again

And take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while
Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh, maybe I can try
I'm just lookin' for the evening
The morning in your eyes

But tell me of the ones you saw as far as you could see
Across the plain from field to town a-marchin' to be free
And of the rusted prison gates that tumbled by decree
Like laughin' children one by one
They looked like you and me

So take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while
Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh, maybe I can try
I'm just lookin' for the evening
And the morning in your eyes

I know you are no stranger down the crooked rainbow trails
From dancing cliff-edged shattered sills of slander shackled jails
For the voices drift up from below as the walls are being scaled
Yes all of this and more my friends
Your song shall not be failed

So take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while
Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh, maybe I can try
I'm just lookin' for the evening
The morning in your eyes

Yes, you've long been on the open road, just sleepin' in the rain
From dirty words and muddy cells
Your clothes are smeared and stained
But the dirty words and muddy cells will soon be hid in shame
So only stop to rest yourself
Till you'll be off again

So take off your thirsty boots and stay for a while
Your feet are hot and weary from a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh, maybe I can try
I'm just lookin' for the evening
The morning in your eyes
