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 from  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

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 from  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
