Boots O'Reilly is a fictitious Irish character who I pictured had led a colourful life, including lots of time on the open road.
Boots O?Reilly
(Verse 1)
White goatee beard
Wild Irish hair
Long down his back
But Boots O?Reilly don?t care
(Verse 2)
Sun sculpted face
Bright hazel eyes
Life on the road
Under big ol? skies
(Verse 3)
Mud splattered boots
Card shufflin? hands
Spent all his life
Not making plans
(Chorus)
May the road rise up to meet you
Fields stay green and rivers blue
May the road rise up to meet you
We?re all just walking through
(Instrumental Bridge?)
(Verse 4)
White knuckle ride
Autumn of his life
Chemo had him reelin?
Docs cut him with a knife
(Verse 5)
Grey tilting bed
Death in the air
Stars out the window
Blind with their glare
(Verse 6)
White goatee beard
Wild Irish hair
Long down his back
But Boots O?Reilly don?t care
(Chorus)
May the road rise up to meet you
Fields stay green and rivers blue
May the road rise up to meet you
Yeah, we?re all just walking through
(Outro)
All just walking
Boots padding on the dirt
Mile after mile
Til we walk through the hurt ?
