Macklemore - Cowboy Boots lyrics
[Intro]
 And we drink and get older
 And some of us even try to get sober
 Now here's to the assholes and the last calls
 Well city kids, you get what you ask for [Bridge]
 And acquaintances turn to friends, I hope those friends they remember me
 Hold the night for ransom as we kidnap the memories
 Not sure there is a way to express what you meant to me
 Sit around a table and use those ears as the centrepiece [Hook x2]
 Sounds of the city on Capitol Hill
 Where I question if what I've seen here is real
 Cowboy boots doing lines at the bar
 Where the time goes slow when you're drinking PBR [Verse 1]
 Hold on to what you were, forget what you're not
 The streets were ours that summer, at least those two blocks
 Reminisce on those days, I guess that's OK, you wonder why
 Some grow up, move on, close the chapter, live separate lives
 The twenty-something confusion before the suit and tie
 Strangers become mistakes but those mistakes make you feel alive
 Hindsight is vibrant, reality: rarely lit
 Memories to collage, paste to the glue that barely sticks
 Good Lord, they broke all my shields
 Locked bathroom doors, graffiti, and high heels
 Until you felt that altitude you don't know how high feels
 Party mountain, some don't ever come down from around here
 To be young again, I guess it's relative
 The camera lights, the whiskey rise, sink into the skinMacklemore - Cowboy Boots - http://motolyrics.com/macklemore/cowboy-boots-lyrics.html
 I fantasize about a second win
 Grow a moustache, pick up another bad habit and let the games begin [Hook x2]
 Sounds of the city on Capitol Hill
 Where I question if what I've seen here is real
 Cowboy boots doing lines at the bar
 Where the time goes slow when you're drinking PBR [Verse 2]
 So here's to the nights, dancing with the band
 Strangers into girlfriends form a one night stand
 Brought a little liquor and turn up the Johnny Cash
 You could bring a receipt to Heaven but you cannot take it back
 And this is life, this is real, even when it feels like it isn't
 I'd be a goddamn liar to say at times I didn't miss it
 Seduce us, I turn my back as I walk into the distance
 Dip my feet in every once in a while, just to say I visit
 And we hold onto these nights
 Trying to find out way home by the street light
 Over time we figure out this is me, right
 Learn a lot about your friends right around two A.M [Bridge]
 And acquaintances turn to friends, I hope those friends they remember me
 Hold the night for ransom as we kidnap the memories
 Not sure there is a way to express what you meant to me
 Sit around a table and use those ears as the centrepiece [Hook]
 Sounds of the city on Capitol Hill
 Where I question if what I've seen here is real
 Cowboy boots doing lines at the bar
 Where the time goes slow when you're drinking PBR
