Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sixteen years of my life I gave to get a pair of cowboy boots
I wanna go where the money's free Hollywood is a callin' me
Oh what a great big star I'll be in a pair of cowboy boots
I'm gonna get on a TV show in a pair of cowboy boots
I'm gonna ride in a rodeo in a pair of cowboy boots
Well, I wanna go where the family lurk, I wanna get a job and go to work
Oh give me a home
Where the swimmin' pools roam
Where the money grows on trees
And the gals all wanna be squeezed
I'm a gonna get there if I have to crawl in a pair of cowboy boots
Get in the movies and that ain't all in a pair of cowboy boots
I'm gonna get me a leather vest a gun on my hip and a star on my chest
I'll be the terror of the Golden West in a pair of cowboy boots
Oh give me a home
Where the swimmin' pools roam
Where the money grows on trees
And the gals all wanna be squeezed
I'm a gonna get there if I have to crawl in a pair of cowboy boots
Get in the movies and that ain't all in a pair of cowboy boots
I'm gonna get me a leather vest a gun on my hip and a star on my chest
I'll be the terror of the Golden West in a pair of cowboy boots
In a pair of cowboy boots
In a pair of cowboy boots
In a pair of cowboy boots
