Boots on Broadway - Shenandoah

Wearing coveralls

That man made it all look easy

Working his table saw like a pro

And he’d say

Son, it’s an old machine

And the gears stay clean pretty easy

But it gets real mean when you go

Against the grain

I look around and I see

Boots on Broadway

They ain’t even broken in

Life on a walkway ain’t no life

Maybe I’m

Steeped in the old ways

Mine never see a closet, if

These were the old days you might find

More like my

Boots on Broadway

Doing the Nashville thing

Wanting to sing and play, nothing cheesy

Writing a different way from the soul

And they say

Son, it’s an old machine

And the gears stay clean pretty easy

But it gets real mean when you go

Against the grain

I look around and I see

Boots on Broadway

They ain’t even broken in

Life on a walkway ain’t no life

Maybe I’m

Steeped in the old ways

Mine never see a closet, if

These were the old days you might find

More like my

Boots on Broadway

And I see

Boots on Broadway

They ain’t even broken in

Life on a walkway ain’t no life

Maybe I’m

Steeped in the old ways

Mine never see a closet, if

These were the old days you might find

More like my

Boots on Broadway

Boots on Broadway

Life is an old machine

And the gears stay clean pretty easy

But there’s a time you’ll see, when you go

Against the grain
