Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] He spends his nights out on that back porch swing Starin’ at them bright lights on a Nashville screen Dreamin’ ‘bout sold-out crowds and that big stage glow Lyin’ awake wonderin’ why his life’s movin’ so slow He’s punchin’ that clock down at the old mill town Got good intentions but they’re wearin’ him down Left a lot of dreams he’d rather not talk about now But just before he turns in, he looks up and says somehow [Chorus] If I could be like that I’d give anything Just to live one day walkin’ in them boots If I could be like that Lord, what would I do? What would I do? [Verse 2] She spends her days down at the county line store Watchin’ folks come and go through that screen door All she wants is a little house with a picket fence white A safe warm bed and someone to hold her at night On a quiet back road where the kids can run free That’s all she’s askin’ for, that’s all she needs But life’s been hard, knockin’ her down on her knees And she whispers to the Lord in the evenin’ breeze [Chorus] If I could be like that I’d give anything Just to live one day walkin’ in them boots If I could be like that Lord, what would I do? What would I do? [Bridge] We’re all chasin’ somethin’ down this dead-end road Runnin’ from the thunder, carryin’ our load Scared of nothin’ but scared to death inside Prayin’ for peace but needin’ that wild ride Fallin’ into dreams where we run away [Final Chorus] If I could be like that I’d give anything Just to live one day walkin’ in them boots If I could be like that Lord, what would I do? What would I do? Yeah, if I could be like that I’d give it all away Just to feel that way for one damn day If I could be like that Lord, what would I do?
