[Intro — Holler Waltz Turn 3/4 fiddle and guitar, male chuckle] [Verse 1 — Bubba solo] These boots have touched some gravel And they've stood in plenty rain They've waited in the doorway For the hurt to ease away But the kitchen has a rhythm When the coffee starts to pour And I can hear an old-time waltz On the little wooden floor [Chorus — 3/4 country waltz] These boots know how to dance Though they've stumbled now and then There's a little song inside me And it's coming round again One, two, three, and turn toward daylight Let the heart take one more chance I ain't finished with the music These boots know how to dance [Verse 2] A man can carry silence Like a suitcase filled with stone Till a simple tune reminds him That the world is not all wrong I don't need a fancy ballroom Or a ribbon on my sleeve Just a patch of floor beneath me And a reason to believe [Chorus] These boots know how to dance Though they've stumbled now and then There's a little song inside me And it's coming round again One, two, three, and turn toward daylight Let the heart take one more chance I ain't finished with the music These boots know how to dance [Instrumental — full Holler Waltz Turn, fiddle/steel, NO vocals] [Bridge — male solo, barely above a whisper] Sometimes the bravest thing Is to find a song in spring After you've been walking Through the winter of everything [Final chorus — solo male, fiddle and harp swell] These boots know how to dance Though they've stumbled now and then There's a little song inside me And it's coming round again One, two, three, and turn toward daylight Let the heart take one more chance The Lord keeps time beside me These boots know how to dance [Outro — hum by male solo, fiddles fade] [End]
