“Me” Verse 1 Sun’s sinkin’ low past the county line, Radio hums like an old hymn rhyme, Pickup rattles, but she still runs true, Got miles behind me, dust on my boots. Daddy’s words still ride shotgun, “Keep it honest, boy, when the day is done,” World spins fast, but I hold on tight, To porch-light love and a Friday night. Chorus I got dust on my boots, faith in my bones, A little bit of heaven wherever I roam, I ain’t rich, but I’m free, and that’s the truth, Yeah, I got dust on my boots. Verse 2 Mama’s voice in a screen-door breeze, Sweet tea wisdom, talkin’ ‘bout knees, Prayin’ low when the road gets rough, Sayin’ grace is strong when the world ain’t enough. Friends come and go like an old refrain, Some stick around, some fade away, But the stars still shine like they always do, Same big sky, same small-town view. Chorus I got dust on my boots, faith in my bones, A little bit of heaven wherever I roam, I ain’t rich, but I’m free, and that’s the truth, Yeah, I got dust on my boots. Bridge I’ve lost a few things I can’t get back, Time, mistakes, love off track, But I’ve learned this much through the years, The simple life costs less tears. Verse 3 If tomorrow comes with a little more gray, I’ll still sing loud on the backroad way, Leave a trail where my worries used to be, Let the wind carry the rest from me. Final Chorus I got dust on my boots, hope in my song, Roots in the ground where I still belong, Ain’t chasing gold, just living the truth, Lord, I’m grateful for the dust on my boots. Outro Yeah, when the road runs out and the sun slips loose, I’ll lay me down with dust on my boots.
