Boots Beside Mine

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some folks chase the bright lights Some go running after gold But I found something better In a story still being told A dusty pair of boots beside mine A heart that's brave and bold [Chorus] Here's to the long roads and the good rides The fences we've mended side by side Through every season, every storm, every sky You're the reason I never had to wonder why Kimmy, you're my once-in-a-lifetime kind [Verse 2] Slipped that ring on your finger Forty-six years ago today You didn't need a thing but blue jeans And you took my breath away We loaded up and headed north to Montana And you never once complained Ten years of mountain mornings Then we found our way back again [Chorus] Here's to the long roads and the good rides The fences we've mended side by side Through every season, every storm, every sky You're the reason I never had to wonder why Kimmy, you're my once-in-a-lifetime kind [Bridge] We raised two boys to be good men With calloused hands and gentle hearts You gave them everything you had And darling, that's your finest art [Verse 3] You're the toughest woman that I know With hay dust in your hair A tomboy with a beauty That still stops me with a stare We don't need the fancy things Just horses and the open air Kimmy, if I lived it all again I wouldn't change a single prayer [Chorus] Here's to the long roads and the good rides The fences we've mended side by side Through every season, every storm, every sky You're the reason I never had to wonder why Kimmy, you're my once-in-a-lifetime kind [Outro] So here's to simple days with you My boots will walk with yours till the end My lover, my partner, my best friend
