Seven long years, I waited for you

You played your games, I played mine too

While I wait for you

Courtin' calls and lots of hurt

Girls are cryin' and I'm lying in the dirt

Tryin' to make this work

I'm a big jerk

Fooled by your smirk

Pulled out your gun, shootin' me with words

Right through the head, oh, just like I deserve

Throw me to the curb

All them old folks gatherin' round me

Point and laugh, oh, while they watch me bleed

I'm starting to believe

This is not a dream

Completely obscene

Bury me in the cold hard ground

Throw my body in while I'm lyin' down

Then you steal my crown

Before you leave me lyin' in the dirt

Take off my boots and give 'em to the herd

All them sad words

Beaten and disturbed

Company deserved

Take off my boots

And I will love you

Take off my boots

And I will love you

Take off my boots

And I will love you

Take off my boots

And I will love you

Take off my boots

And I will love you

Take off my boots

And I will love you

Take off my boots

And I will love you

Take off my boots

And I will love
