Baddest Boots
Toby Keith Lyrics

I saw her turn her head
The singer noticed a woman turn her head towards him

In a drop-dead gaze
The woman looked at the singer in an admiring and attractive way

She was peekin' out over the top
The woman was looking down at the singer from the top of her sunglasses

Of those wire-rim shades
The sunglasses have a wire frame around the lenses

Now it wasn't my charm
The woman's attraction to the artist was not due to his personality

And it wasn't my grin
The woman's attraction to the singer was not due to his smile

That had that little secretary
The woman who was admiring the singer was a secretary

Dialed right in
The woman was completely focused on the artist's appearance

She wasn't lookin' at me, man
The woman wasn't looking at the artist himself, but something else about him

She was lookin' at my feet
The woman was looking at the artist's shoes

It's these twenty-two hundred
The artist is describing the price of his boots

And twenty-five dollar
The singer is describing the specific price of his boots down to the last cent

Pair o' handmade genuine fine
The boots are high-quality, genuinely handmade footwear

Horned-back kicks
The boots are made from genuine (likely alligator) hornback hide

With a seven-row stitch
The boots have a detailed and expensive stitch pattern

And a three dollar sidewalk shine
The boots have recently been polished with a high-quality shine

Yeah they're made to fit
The boots were custom made specifically for the singer's feet

and they're hard to find
These specific boots are difficult to find and aren't sold by many retailers

Make a pretty woman look down each time
The boots are so impressive that they cause women to look down at them each time they see them on the artist

I got the baddest boots on the boulevard
The artist feels that he has the best boots in town

Yeah the baddest boots on the boulevard
The singer repeats this line to emphasize how great his boots are

They were made by a little man
The boots were made by a specific individual in a certain location

Down in El Paso
The boots were made in El Paso, Texas

I was passin' though town
The singer was traveling through El Paso when he found these boots

Singin' at the rodeo
The artist was performing at a local rodeo event

He said 'they cost a little more
The man who made the boots told the singer that they were expensive

But for what it's worth
The man believes that the boots are worth the high price tag

There ain't another pair like 'em
The boots are unique and cannot be replicated

on god's green earth'
There are no other boots like these in the world

Then I handed him my money
The artist decided to buy the boots despite the high cost

And he sized me up
The man who made the boots took precise measurements of the singer's feet to create the perfect fit

When I pull 'em on
The singer is describing how it feels to wear the boots

I start singin' a song
The boots make the singer feel happy and confident

Make me want to tuck my britches leg's inside 'em
The singer enjoys pulling his pants down over the boots to show them off

Lets take a stroll
The artist wants to go walk around and show off his boots

They're the baddest boots on the boulevard
The singer repeats that his boots are the best

Look here girl
The artist is addressing a woman

Yeah, they're bad alright
The artist is confident that his boots are the coolest and most impressive ones around
