[Verse 1] You say it like a badge Like you moved the whole damn map But your boots by the door Ain't a life, it's just a nap You talk big all night Then you vanish with your pride Leave a trail of muddy proof And a story half as wide [Pre-Chorus] How many times now? How many lines? Same old shrug Same old sign [Chorus] Boots by the door Boots by the door You say it like a prayer Like that makes you more Boots by the door Boots by the door How many times you gonna say it? We heard it before [Verse 2] You got that practiced lean On the same old wooden frame Talk about hard-earned miles But you never leave the name You point at the floor Like it tells a heroic tale Man, that dirt ain't destiny It's just you being stale [Pre-Chorus] How many times now? How many more? You call it home We call it chore [Chorus] Boots by the door Boots by the door You say it like a prayer Like that makes you more Boots by the door Boots by the door How many times you gonna say it? We heard it before [Bridge] Take a step, or take a seat Quit polishing that excuse Either walk out on your words Or admit you love the loose No shame in staying No crown in playing shy But if your whole big legend Is a boot left by the door, why? [Chorus] Boots by the door Boots by the door You say it like a prayer Like that makes you more Boots by the door Boots by the door How many times you gonna say it? We heard it before [Outro] So stop putting those boots by the door In every gall dang song of yours
