He looked at him as if he knew
He wasn't planning to stay
His big brown eyes admitted he lied
When he said he had to go
Boy oh Boy
Be prepared to live life wearing heavier boots
Don't be scared to be sad, you'll find back to your roots
You just have to trust in you
But don't wish away the past, for you'll grow up so very fast
Wearing those heavy boots
Heavier than the other kids's shoes
The Days went by and he's still not home
He tried to call but Daddy never answers his phone
And Mommy said "stop!"
Don't you call him again
He'll never be back
From now on you're a kid without a dad
Boy oh Boy
Be prepared to live life wearing heavier boots
Don't be scared to be sad, you'll find back to your roots
You just have to trust in you
But don't wish away the past, for you'll grow up so very fast
Wearing those heavy boots
Heavier than the other kids's shoes
Empty spaces and the lack of love
(Heavy boots)
Oh empty spaces and the lack of love
(Heavy boots)
Oh the empty spaces and the lack of love
Boy oh boy
Be prepared to live life wearing heavier boots
Don't be scared to be sad, you'll find back to your roots
You just have to trust in you
But don't wish away the past, for you'll grow up so very fast
Wearing those heavy boots
Heavier than the other kids's shoes
