Thirsty boots


Thirsty boots

This song appears on three albums, and was first released on the I want to live
Album, and has also been released on the rocky mountain collection and the
Country roads collection albums.

Youve long been on the open road
Youve been sleepin in the rain
From dirty words and muddy cells
Youre clothes are soiled and stained
But the dirty words, the mud of cells
Will soon be judged insane
So only stop and rest yourself
And youll be off again

Oh take off your thirsty boots
And stay for awhile
Your feet are hard and weary
From a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh
And maybe I can try
Lookin for the evening
And the morning in your eyes

Then tell me of the ones you saw
As far as you could see
Across the plains from field to town
Marchin to be free
And of the rusted prison gates
That tumbled by degree
Like laughing children one by one
They look like you and me

So take off your thirsty boots
And stay for awhile
Your feet are hard and weary
From a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh
And maybe I can try
Just lookin for the evening
And the morning in your eyes

I know you are no stranger now
A crooked rainbow trail
From dancing cliffheads shattered sills
To slander shackled jails
Where the voices drift up from below
Its walls are being scaled
Yes, all of this, and more my friend
Your song shall not be failed

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

John Denver, born Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. (1943-1997), was an American singer-songwriter and musician deeply rooted in the folk rock genre. Born in Roswell, New Mexico, Denver spent his childhood between Colorado and Arizona, influenced by the natural beauty of the American West, which often found inspiration in his songs. After studying music at college, he moved to Denver, Colorado, where he began his musical career playing in local venues and folk festivals. In 1970, he signed a record deal with RCA Records and released his debut album, "Poems, Prayers and Promises", which was a great success. Denver became famous for his catchy melodies, poetic lyrics, and warm, reassuring voice. His most famous songs include "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Annie's Song" and "Rocky Mountain High". His music often celebrated nature, love for family, and the desire for peace and harmony. Besides music, Denver was involved in several environmental and humanitarian causes, becoming a symbol of hope and positivity for millions worldwide.
