Exhausted Pipes - Leather Boots [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Leather boots strapped on my feet
While wooden wheels roll down the street
And I’ll say what day is today

Armadillos scratch around
They cannot tell the sky from ground
And I’ll say what day is today
And I will go stumbling back home
And I’ll sit in a gravel pit

And I’ll say oh oh oh oh oh oh

Big tall ships with salty sails
Pass on their swords and tell their tales
And I will say what day is today
And I will take my best shot
And I will pull til the lines are taught

And I’ll say oh oh oh oh oh oh
I’ll say oh oh oh oh oh oh

And I will go stumbling back home
And I will sit in a gravel pit
And I will take my best shot
And I will pull til the lines are taught

I see where we go
It makes me glad you know
To see the horizon is flat
And that the sails are full
You know your beard can’t cut itself

My hair is in my eyes
But it’s no surprise
The wind it blows around
Makes its sound and we get by

If you want to stay young you’ve got to act old
But only if you act young will you ever grow old

[solo]

Weathered beard looks towards the skies
And tells us if the sea will rise
And armadillo stew will be
Our only meal while we’re at sea
Watch your back as you walk the plank
Whiskey and gypsies do await
And when we see red skies at night
The ship will cry out in delight

And I will say what day is today
And I will go stumbling back home

And I’ll say oh oh oh oh oh oh
I’ll say oh oh oh oh oh oh
I’ll say oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
