Lyrics:

… You keep saying you got something for me

Something you call love, but confess

You've been a messin' where you shouldn't have been a messin'

And now someone else is getting all your best

… Yeah

… These boots are made for walkin'

And that's just what they'll do

One of these days, these boots are gonna walk all over you

… You keep lyin' when you ought to be truthin'

You keep losin' when you ought to not bet

You keep samin' when you ought to be a changin'

Now what's right is right, but you ain't been right yet

… These boots are made for walkin'

And that's just what they'll do

One of these days, these boots are gonna walk all over you

… You keep playin' where you shouldn't be playin'

And you keep thinking that you'll never get burnt, ha

I've just found me a brand new box of matches, yeah

And what he knows you ain't had time to learn

… These boots are made for walkin'

And that's just what they'll do

One of these days, these boots are gonna walk all over you
