these boots are made for talking

my mamas always borrowing mine 

she's never been one to love what she has 

but I borrow hers just as much 

so maybe it says just as much about me 

as it does about her. 

once I fell for a boy who never wore any. 

I guess he felt like he needed more protection around his heart 

than his feet 

and I guess I should've done that too 

because while his feet grew callused and tough 

his heart didn't even bruise. 

my dads been buying the same pair since I can remember

and he's had the same job that long too.

I can't blame him though because he's doing what's best and I love him for that 

plus, the pair he keeps buying are cool.

they're cool shoes. 

they say you can tell a lot about a person by their shoes 

so maybe that explains why my sister wears the same ones every day 

and why my brother only wears the ones his friends wear

and why I take so long to pick mine out in the morning.
