Lyrics

Steel Toes

My boots got steel toes; my belt is where my tools go
My friends they’re all workin' Joes, this here life is the life I chose
Steel toes

Well my neck is red and my collar's blue, my heart is good and my aim is true
I believe my best is all I can do, I'm gonna get 'er done before I'm through
If something's broke I'll help you fix it, if something's separated I'd be glad to mix it
If you're feeling lonely I got just the ticket, If you've got a bad habit I'll help you kick it

My boots got steel toes; my belt is where my tools go
My friends they’re all workin' Joes, this here life is the life I chose
Steel toes

I drive a big old pickup truck, it ain't brand new but it's all fixed up
There's lots of room for all my stuff, I kinda like it 'cause it makes me look tough
When I was younger I used to cruise up and down main street when I got the blues
In a small town there ain't much else to do, just round and round win or lose
There was this girl I used to see, hanging at the arcade down on main street
I used to dream that one day she'd be cuddled up to me on my big, bench seat
Well to make a long story shorter, it turns out she was hoping for a doctor or a lawyer
I knew my plans would only annoy her, and I wasn't about to ditch my small town employer

My boots got steel toes, my belt is where my tools go
My friends they’re all workin' Joes, this here life is the life I chose
Steel toes

My little lady she likes to dance, so I like to take her out when I get the chance
She let's me lead but with a knowing glance, cause we both know who wears the pants
One night we were dancing real slow and it seems I stepped on her little, bitty toes
I said, I'm sorry babe I didn't know, she looked at my feet, said, I need a pair of those

My boots got steel toes, my belt is where my tools go
My friends they’re all workin' Joes, this here life is the life I chose
Steel toes
My boots got steel toes; my face has got a sun burnt nose
My fingers nearly all been froze, I love this life ‘cause it’s the life I chose
Steel toes
