I wear you every day

In the snow and in the gray

Gortex lining is so warm

You get me through each and every storm

You’re the latest fad on the hill

Perfect for walking to the cider mill

Everyone who is anyone is wearing you this year

Your traction rids me of my slipping fear

As soon as the cold icy weather hits

There’s no reason for me to call it quits

I’ve been wearing you since November

Bearing the low temps without is hard to remember

Thank you bean boots for being my savior at college

You’ve helped me make it to classes and gain so much more knowledge
