Lyrics
PICK UP YOUR FEET, OL' HOSS
©Johnnie Lawson 2008
PICK UP YOUR FEET, OL' HOSS, ONE MORE TIME
AND TAKE ME DOWN TO THE RIVER
GOT A'WAYS TO GO AND IT LOOKS LIKE SNOW
BEFORE THE DAY IS DONE
JUST ME AND YOU AND THAT FLEA-BITTEN DOG
COMIN' ON TO STORMY WEATHER
PICK UP YOUR FEET, OL' HOSS, JUST ONE MORE TIME
'CAUSE WE'RE BOTH TOO OLD TO RUN
WELL, I DONE HER WRONG, BEING GONE SO LONG
RIDING OUT HERE ON THE TRAIL
AND IF I DON'T MAKE IT HOME REAL SOON
SHE'S GONNA GIVE ME HELL
IF I WANT TO KEEP HER LOVE FOR ME
I GOTTA MAKE IT HOME BY SUNDOWN
PICK UP YOUR FEET, OL' HOSS, JUST ONE MORE TIME
OR WE BEST JUST TURN AROUND
THE STORM'S ... ROLLING IN ... AND I'M .. WORRIED OL' FRIEND
(BUT) IT JUST AIN'T OUR TIME TO GO ...
PICK UP YOUR FEET OL' HOSS, JUST ONE MORE TIME
I CAN SEE THE LIGHTS UP AHEAD
THAT OL' DOG RUN OFF, HE CAUGHT THE SMELL OF HOME
AND HE'S LOOKING FOR A SOFT, WARM BED
I SEE THE SMOKE BILLOW OUT FROM THAT OLD SMOKESTACK
AND I SEE HER THERE IN THE WINDOW
PICK UP YOUR FEET, OL' HOSS, JUST ONE MORE TIME
WE FINALLY MADE IT HOME
REST YOUR FEET, OL' HOSS, FOR A GOOD LONG WHILE,
'CAUSE WE FINALLY ... MADE IT HOME
