the unforgiven (1986) - with my boots on lyrics

Loading...

i walked myself into the room
to see the strongest man i ever knew
laid out flat and dead to the world
and breathing through a tube

i staggered back into the hallway
where i gasped for air and choked
and said: “no god nowhere could do this
to the man of steel and rope.”

and i still recall thinking, “lord, if i gotta die
let me do it standin’ or runnin’ or lookin’ the bullet in the eye.”
so if my time has gotta come
let ’em all say:
“at least he died with his boots on
and he went the right way”

i stеpped back into the white room
as hе woke up and said:
“boy, have you got my boots with you?”
i grinned and nodded my head

and i still recall thinkin’
as i took them off and gave him mine
was he smilin’ as he died, ’cause he knew it was over or ’cause he knew that i was lyin’?
so, if you gotta k!ll me now
take me where i stand
i’m standing here with my boots on
where i live like a man
i wanna die like a man

forgive me if you can
and take me by the hand
but let me go with my boots on
and walk in heaven like a man
like an unforgiven man
