[Verse 1: Dierks Bentley]
They were made to ride and ramble
They were made for desert stars
They ain't broke in 'til they've broken
A few horses and some hearts
Kickin' dust up instead of habits
Got some bad ones they should lose
That's why they call 'em cowboy boots

[Verse 2: Dierks Bentley]
They were made to count a band off
Two-step across the floor
Push down on a throttle
Hide a bottle, kick down doors
They'll make you feel ten feet tall
And cool like Chris LeDoux
That's why thеy call 'em cowboy boots

[Chorus: Dierks Bentley]
Don't be surprised
Thеy got a warning in their name
And the one that's got 'em on
Can't take all the blame
They got a reckless reputation
That they always live up to
That's why they call 'em cowboy boots
[Verse 3: Ashley McBryde]
They were made to crush a beer can
Stomp out a cigarette
They were made to wear 'til they wear out
So I ain't hung mine up yet
They're good at holdin' ground
These ropers ain't got roots
That's why they call 'em cowboy boots

[Chorus: Dierks Bentley & Ashley McBryde]
Don't be surprised
They got a warning in their name
And the one that's got 'em on
Can't take all the blame
They got a reckless reputation
That they always live up to
That's why they call 'em cowboy boots

[Bridge: Dierks Bentley]
They're good at goodbye
Gettin' gone's what they do
I had to learn the hard way
That cowgirls wear 'em too

[Chorus: Dierks Bentley & Ashley McBryde]
Don't be surprised
They got a warning in their name
And the one that's got 'em on
Hey, can't take all the blame
They got a reckless reputation
That they always live up to
Rollin' in just like the wind
And leavin' right out of the blue
Yeah, they always do
That's why they call 'em cowboy boots
