lyrics

Empty Boots (© 2004 Maynard Music)

In the middle of nowhere
Off the side of the highway
There’s a man made canyon
That was not at all grand
In the middle of the canyon
Where a small lake had grown
A young boy was playing
On a beach with no sand

In the middle of winter
It was a few years later
Too young to know better
His duty called
In the middle of the desert
Alone and forgotten
Fighting in vein ‘til it was his turn to fall

Chorus: Empty boots telling stories
of the unfinished business
and all the lives that never should have ended
When the war came to pass

In the middle of summer
On a backyard tire swing
That hung like a noose
From that tall oak tree
In the middle of her years
A woman sat dreaming
Of one young man who was gone too soon to dream

Empty boots…

In the middle of nowhere
Surrounded by land fill
There’s a sad old village
With one busy saloon
And over in the corner
Where the jukebox was playing
She danced alone to that old familiar tune …

break

In the middle of nowhere
Off a one lane dirt road
There’s a little white farm house
That sat empty for years
In the middle of the kitchen
A trap door once hidden
Now sat open so that everyone could hear…
