The Boot
Heartbreak and Honky Tonks: Joe Michaels' Tale of Love's Boot
Lyrics
She don't like to honky tonk no more
She no longer enjoys going to honky-tonks.
I guess I said the wrong thing and she threw me out the door
He said something wrong, leading to being kicked out by her.
Now I'm sitting on her front porch and I don't know what to do
He's now unsure about what to do, sitting on her front porch.
Oh, I gave her my heart, and she gave me the boot
Despite giving his heart, she ended the relationship abruptly.
Oh I gave her my heart
Repeated: He sincerely gave her his heart.
And she gave me the boot
Repeated: She ended the relationship, giving him the boot.
Asking her to marry me was not the thing to do
Proposing marriage was a mistake in her eyes.
She don't like these dusty jeans, she likes her men in suits
She prefers men in suits, not those with dusty jeans like him.
Oh I gave her my heart, and she gave me the boot
Despite his heartfelt gesture, she ended things.
She got tired of my whiskey drinkin ways
She grew tired of his whiskey-drinking habits.
And that Silverado truck I drive had seen its better days
His Silverado truck is no longer in good condition.
She said she wants to drink fine wine and drive a BMW
She desires a more refined lifestyle with fine wine and a BMW.
Oh I gave her my heart, and she gave me the boot
Despite giving his heart, she gave him the boot.
Oh I gave her my heart
Repeated: He genuinely gave her his heart.
And she gave me the boot
Repeated: She ended the relationship, giving him the boot.
Asking her to marry me was not the thing to do
Proposing marriage proved to be a mistake.
She don't like these dusty jeans, she likes her men in suits
She prefers men in suits, not those with dusty jeans like him.
Oh I gave her my heart, and she gave me the boot
Despite his heartfelt gesture, she ended things.
She got tired of that fancy city life
She grew tired of the upscale city lifestyle.
She called me on the telephone late one Friday night
She called him, expressing a desire to marry him on a Friday night.
She said that she'll marry me, that's what she wants to do
Despite her commitment, he decided to end the relationship.
Oh she gave me her heart, so I gave her the boot!
He reciprocated by ending the relationship despite her sincere offer.
Oh she gave me her heart
Repeated: She genuinely gave him her heart.
And I gave her the boot
Repeated: He ended the relationship, giving her the boot.
She said that she'll marry me that's not what I'm gonna do
She wanted to marry him, but he decided against it.
Cause she left me and these dusty jeans and my Silverado too
She left him along with his dusty jeans and Silverado truck.
Oh she gave me her heart so I gave her the boot
Despite her genuine feelings, he ended the relationship.
Yeah, she gave me her black old heart and I gave her the boot
She gave him her heart, but he chose to end the relationship.
