Just in time for the holidays. Check out our new song “Boots” which answers the question you’ve all been asking.
If life gives you lemons, make lemonade. But what do you do if life gives you leather
She’s mending the sole of a man
Who lives on her side of town
And wonders what his smile might be like
She’s only seen him frown
No, it’s never good enough for him
You gotta do it twice
He always needs to skim
A little off the price
He just holds his ground
And won’t make a sound
He walks out the door
She turns around
There’s a lump in her throat
She’s been keeping down
She’d doing her best now
To hold it together
She knows what to do
When life gives you leather
Make boots
In the evening
The life of a cobbler
She does what she can
To make her prim
And properly
Waits until morning
It’s not what she wanted at all
No, it’s not what she wanted at all
She can count on her fingers
The pricks that she let
Get under her skin
No, the pain never lingered
But the memory sank in
Meanwhile, she never got a choice
Never had a chance
Never got a look
Or a second glance
And she can’t get out
Of this dead end town
She feels like the fool
For holding on hope
And realizes now
That it’s all just a joke
She’d doing the best she can now
To hold it together
She knows what to do
When life gives you leather
Make boots
In the evening
The life of a cobbler
She does what she can
To make her prim
And properly
Waits until morning
It’s not what she wanted at all
She’s all out of hope
And it haunts all her dreams
She’s all out of love
She’d tearing at the seams
People tell you “That’s life”
But it’s just what they say
When it’s all about getting through the day
But it’s not what she wanted at all
No, it’s not what she wanted at all
She knows what to do
She knows just what to say
“It’s got to get better,
It’s got to get better”
But even if it doesn’t
It doesn’t matter anyway
Cause it’s not what she wanted at all
No, it’s not what she wanted at all
She knows what to do
In the evening
The life of a cobbler
She does what she can
To make her prim
And properly
Waits until morning
It’s not what she wanted at all
It’s not what she wanted at all
