The Unforgiven – With My Boots On

The Unforgiven – With My Boots On Lyrics

Artist: The Unforgiven
Song: With My Boots On

I walked myself into the room
To see the strongest man I ever knew
Laid out flat and dead to the world
And breathing through a tube

I staggered back into the hallway
Where I gasped for air and choked
And said: “No God nowhere could do this
To the man of steel and rope.”

And I still recall thinking, “Lord, if I gotta die
Let me do it standin’ or runnin’ or lookin’ the bullet in the eye.”
So if my time has gotta come
“At least he died with his boots on

And he went the right way”
I stеpped back into the white room
“Boy, have you got my boots with you?”
I grinned and nodded my head

And I still recall thinkin’
As I took them off and gave him mine
Was he smilin’ as he died, ’cause he knew it was over or ’cause he knew that I was lyin’?
So, if you gotta kill me now

Take me where I stand
I’m standing here with my boots on
Where I live like a man
I wanna die like a man

Forgive me if you can
And take me by the hand
But let me go with my boots on
And walk in Heaven like a man

Like an unforgiven man
