Chapman Tracy Cold Feet Lyrics

Cold Feet Lyrics

There was a little boy once upon a time who in spite of his young age
knew
his mind
For every copper penny and clover he would find make a wish for
better
days the end of hard times
For no more cold feet
Cold cold cold
cold feet
His clothes were always clean
His face was always
scrubbed
There was food on the table enough to fill him up
His house was
full of life
His house was full of love
But when winter days arrived
there was never money enough to shod his
cold feet
Cold cold cold cold
feet
He grew up to be a worker determined to succeed
He made a life for
himself free from worldly wants or needs
But with nobody to share the life
he'd made
Nobody to keep him warm at night
When he'd go to sleep he'd
sleep alone
With his cold feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
One night he
walked the streets looking to the heavens above
Searching for a shooting
star a benevolent god
When a woman passing by brushed his arm he turned and
found love
He then wished for the courage to ask this stranger who she was
to not
have cold feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
One year later he stood
beside her
He vowed I'll give you everything you want
She said I'll take
some love from my heart to keep your body warm
You won't have cold
feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
He thought she'd like the party life and
want the finer things
So he promised more than he could buy and he'd promise
her the sun and
moon to not have cold feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
He
worked day and night his fingers to the bone
His worried mind guilty
conscience drive him on
He can give her what she needs
He wants to give
her what he thinks she wants
Her sad-eyed face his empty pockets drive him
on and his cold feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
He'd struggled all his life
to be an honest man
Proud that the dirt on his palms was the soil of the
land
But some guys he knew from high school days said they had a plan to
get
rich real quick
And they could count him in if he don't have cold
feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
He thought about their offer accepted it
without qualms
Dreamt about the life he'd buy the comfort that would come
without cold
feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
He decided to drive the
car
He decided to carry the gun
To take the biggest risk of all to prove
his loyalty to his friends
He decided to tell his wife things would soon
turn around
He said the little boy is dead
A man stands with you now
without cold feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
Without cold feet
Cold cold
cold cold feet
He thought he'd set his clock right
He thought he'd read
his watch
He left in such a hurry he didn't think to wish for luck
Makes
no difference if you're early
No difference if you're late
When you're
out of time
The flowers have been laid
You're six feet
underground
With cold feet
Cold cold cold cold feet
