Letra Thirsty Boots de John Denver original

You've long been on the open road
You've been sleeping in the rain
From dirty words and muddy cells
Your clothes are soiled and stained
But the dirty words of the mother cells
Will soon be judged insane
So only stop and rest yourself
And you'll be off again

Oh, take off your thirsty boots
And stay for awhile
Your feet are hot and weary
From a dusty mile
And maybe I can make you laugh
And maybe I can try
Looking 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
Marching to be free
And of the rusted prison gates
That tumble by debris
Like laughing children one by one
They look like you and me

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

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

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

Repeat chorus
