The counter to a talking point

lyrics

Bootstraps
© Andy Ard (BMI)

How dare you tell me get a job
From the window of your SUV
What would you know
About rugged individuality?

Where do you sleep every night
And how well do you slumber knowing
When you wake
There’s nobody kicking you out?

To tell you pull yourself up by the bootstraps
Make something out of yourself
Well I got no boots and no place to keep ‘em
I could use a little help

You think it’s all a game of cards
But some are not allowed to play
The deck is stacked
My hand’s untouchable anyway

Who told you that I wanted this
I don’t remember anyone asking
Must be the voices
you heard on the radio

Chorus

This is the best I can do today
Cardboard sign on the corner where I stay

Another driver looks away
To the talk radio or the red light
He doesn’t remember
The first boots somebody bought for him

Chorus 2x
