[Intro – Lone Acoustic Guitar, Light Steel Swells] Dust on my boots, pain in my chest A long line of maybes and second best I left pieces of me in those worn-out scenes With bootscuffs and broken dreams [Verse 1 – Add Soft Drums, Fiddle in Background] I had a girl once in Baton Rouge She loved me wild, then cut me loose Said my promises tore at the seams Like bootscuffs and broken dreams [Chorus – Full Band, Slow Burn Build] Bootscuffs and broken dreams Every mile's a song I didn’t mean Barstools and backseat pleas Fadin’ fast like midnight schemes A trail of goodbye scenes Bootscuffs and broken dreams [Verse 2 – Steel Guitar Echoes, Harmonica Touches] Pawned my soul for a tank of gas Chased some hope I knew wouldn’t last Truth ain’t kind, but it sure redeems Like bootscuffs and broken dreams [Chorus – Stronger, Raspy Vocals Push Through] Bootscuffs and broken dreams Tattered love and busted beams Old guitars that never sing The way they did in younger schemes Now it's just me And bootscuffs and broken dreams [Bridge – Drop to Just Vocals and Acoustic] You grow up fast when the lights go dim Chasing fate on a worn-down whim [Final Chorus – Raw, Slow, Emotional Delivery] Bootscuffs and broken dreams That’s all I got, and that’s all it seems But I still walk, still believe That there's more past what I've seen Beyond these bootscuffs and broken dreams [Outro – Fiddle Lingers, Fade Out on Steel Guitar Slide]
