A TUB THUMPING, GUITAR DRIVEN, BOOT STOMPING SONG WITH SHADES OF GLAM ROCK.
lyrics
TOO BIG FOR YOUR BOOTS
I KNEW YOU WHEN YOU DIDN’T HAVE A RED CENT
ANOTHER POOR BOY WITH DREAMS JUST LIKE ME
THIS ONE HORSE TOWN USED TO DRIVE YOU ROUND THE BEND
ALL FIRED UP YOU COULDN’T WAIT TO LEAVE
SO YOU HEADED FOR THE CITY, SAID YOU’D MAKE A MILLION
SWORE YOU’D SEND FOR ME…..I’M STILL WAITING
YOU FLEW TOO NEAR THE SUN
GOT YOURSELF BURNT
WANNA KNOW THE TRUTH
YOU GOT TOO BIG FOR YOUR BOOTS
HOT SHOT, THE WORD IS OUT
YOU’RE YESTERDAY’S NEWS
YOU GOT TOO BIG FOR YOUR BOOTS
YOU TRIED TO CLIMB UP AND REACH FOR THE STARS
YOU HAD TO HAVE IT ALL WHEN YOU WERE RIDIN’ HIGH
BUT YOU COULDN’T SEE THE LIGHT WITH YOUR HEAD IN THE CLOUDS
NEXT THING YOU KNEW YOU FELL RIGHT OUTTA THE SKY
SO WITH YOUR TAIL BETWEEN YOUR LEGS, SUITCASE IN YOUR HAND
YOU CAUGHT THE LAST TRAIN,
WELL GUESS WHO’S BACK IN TOWN?
WE WERE TWO KIDS WITH NOTHING TO LOSE
I THOUGHT THAT I REALLY KNEW YOU
I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE WALKED A MILE IN YOUR SHOES
YOU GOT TOO BIG FOR YOUR BOOTS
YOU GOT TOO BIG FOR YOUR
YOU GOT TOO BIG FOR YOUR
HOT SHOT, THE WORD IS OUT
YOU RAN RIGHT OUTTA JUICE
YOU GOT TOO BIG FOR YOUR ….BOOTS
