Sometimes the storm clouds seem dark

It feels like there's no hope

But trust us there's something out there watching over you

All you gotta do is believe

When I was sixteen our farm burned down

Daddy took to drinking all over town

I raised my brothers in an old motel

Went from living in heaven to starving in hell

And then one day I heard a knock at the door

Opened it up and saw a boot on the floor

It was a wishing boot the wishing boot

The little black boot that makes your dreams come true

It was a wishing boot it was full of food

When you're in need just believe

In the wishing boot

When I was young nobody taught me wrong from right

Started stealing trucks by day and hooking by night

Going nowhere fast in a one horse town

Shot a johnny in Amarillo and they took me down

I was in jail facing twenty to life

Til the warden said there's a visitor that wants to say hi

It was a wishing boot the wishing boot

It paid my bail and bought me a new suit

Cuz that boot could see see the good in me

Next day by dawn it was gone

That's the wishing boot

I was working in the barn with my old dog Jake

When the wishing boot appeared and I thought this is a mistake

I walked up to the boot to say everything's alright

Then the boot pulled out a knife and threatened my lie

This was not the wishing boot it was a fake

And suddenly my good ole dog began to change shape

It was the wishing boot

The real wishing boot

The whole dang time the dog had been the boot

The wishing boot beautiful and true

You're so much more than a boot

You're the wishing boot

The wishing boot is a boot and it's there when you need it

Don't ask what it knows what it knows but just take what it gives you

And never let it go

It's the wishing boot

Just believe it's true

It's hope in the form of a little ole' dirty boot

The wishing boot

The boot is you

Tell all your friends 'bout the boot

The wishing boot

The wishing boot

The wishing boot
