I was 14 and getting ready to start high school when I wrote "Boots, Bras, & Drawers". My mom said "Dougie!" (that's what they call me back home) "What do you need to start school?".
I said, "I need a new pair of boots, some bras, & underwear"
My mom replied "Boots, Bras, & Drawers!"
GASP! *Blank Stare* I ran to my bedroom and this song just fell out of me.
Thanks Mom! And a special thank you to Claire Galley who helped me put the chords to this work. #SulphurHighSchool #BBD
If you cover this, please be sure to tag me on socials so that I can show you some LOVE.

CHORUS:
C F C
Well there were boots, bras, and drawers laying all over my bedroom floor
F G
And I was packing up to leave him when he came stomping through that door
C F C
He said what’s going here I said I’m leaving you for good
F G (rest) C
And I left him crying as I packed up my Boots, Bras, and Drawers
VERSE 1:
F C
Well I’d been thinking about leaving him since the day we go together
F C G
Cause he got to talking about marriage and me hanging around forever
F C
He had pictured in his mind me making him a family tree
D7 C G
But in my head it was like Deirks said still lot of leaving left to be
F C G (rest) C
Now I’m just fine with what’s mine and my Boots,Bras, and Drawers
CHORUS:
C F C
Well there were Boots, Bras, and Drawers laying all over my bedroom floor
C F G
And I was packing up to leave him when he came stomping through that door
C F C
He said what’s going on here I said I’m leaving you for good
C F G (rest) C
And I left him crying as I packed up my Boots, Bras, and Drawers
VERSE 2:
F C
Well now that I left him I am just as happy as I can be
F C G
Cause without him I’m able to be independent and free
F C
He’s probably worried about me but about him I don’t have a care
D7 C G
To tell you the truth, I’m really just glad he’s out of my hair
F C G (rest) C
Cause now my life is fun, I’m always on the run in my Boots, Bras, and Drawers
CHORUS:
C F C
Well there were Boots, Bras, and Drawers laying all over my bedroom floor
C F G
And I was packing up to leave him when he came stomping through that door
C F C
He said what’s going on here I said I’m leaving you for good
C F G (rest) C
And I left him crying as I packed up my Boots, Bras, and Drawers
F C G C
I said I left him crying as I packed up my Boots, Bras, and Drawers.
