Secondhand Boots by The Audreys
With rumours of an upcoming new album circulating, The Audreys serve up a tasty appetiser with first single Secondhand Boots. It's a tale that starts promisingly at 'a rooftop bar in Nashville' and ends somewhere between heartache and Hahndorf. Country tinged and melancholy, territory The Audreys traverse with the sure-footedness of an Appalachian mountain goat, Secondhand Boots is bound to become a fan favourite.

Lyrics
Secondhand Boots
Should have left you where I found you
At that rooftop bar in Nashville
Or in that hotel room that we found
In the shady part of down town
Instead I married you in secondhand boots and a borrowed dress
And you made such a wreck of me that I didn’t recognise myself
Yeah I married you in secondhand boots and a borrowed dress
Borrowed dress, borrowed dress and secondhand boots
Should have caught that plane without you
Should have never thought about you
Should have said my last goodbye
Left you waiting around to die
Instead I married you in secondhand boots and a borrowed dress
And you made such a wreck of me that I didn’t recognise myself
Yeah I married you in secondhand boots and a borrowed dress
Borrowed dress, borrowed dress and secondhand boots
Yeah I married you in secondhand boots and a borrowed dress
And you made such a wreck of me that I didn’t recognise myself
I married you in secondhand boots and a borrowed dress
Borrowed dress, borrowed dress and secondhand boots
Secondhand boots, oh secondhand boots, secondhand boots
Should have left you where I found you
At that rooftop bar in Nashville
