Boots
I have walked so many miles
Never in your shoes
I never seen many smiles
Never been the one on your lips
So many journeys always alone
Many places to go
Where I travel unknown
In these worn boots
In these worn boots I mark
The earth with my feet
God gave me a spark
So the earth I enflame
Every journey a mission
I walk with these boots
Some stop, and they listen
To the words I've carried
These boots are a gift to my feet
Many steps they have made
Whether dirt road or paved street
They make their mark
I could sleep while I walk
My boots know the way
They keep going, they never stop
It is a path ever-trod
Ever to encompass the earth
Until I walk home
To my humbled birth
Deep inside your heart
These boots I stomp at the door
Like a knock to the ground
I love you, do you know what for?
Because you gave me these boots
You knew I would always walk
And didn't want me to forget
You couldn't follow, wouldn't stalk
The person who let me go
Wanted me to remember, those times
You were my rest
You colored me between the lines
Now you carry me
With these boots on my feet
I will find a way
A way for us, again, to meet
At a crossroads
Intersectable, so connectable
Like Lego bricks
We are built, unbreakable
This love, unmistakable
I don't always like
What you have to say
Never will I strike
You, and walk away
A promise that comes fromΒ Β a past
A promise it is
A promise that will promise to last
My word.
So these boots continue
To carry promises
To walk, because I miss you
Just to be closer
Even if I never touch your heart
I know we
Are never far apart
Not in my head
Boots to ***** in the dirt
To find you
Boots to wear, when we flirt
Or any other time
Boots a map to my home
To find you, my love
So I will not be alone
Just me, and my boots
