[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots, hope in my pocket
Chasing a dream, the wind couldn't lock it
Road's been unkind, chewing me like jerky
Hunger in my chest, heart's feelin' murky
[Prechorus]
Empty hands, full of scars
Counting miles, counting stars
[Chorus]
Empty-handed, nothing to show
But the stories I carry, seeds I sow
Empty-handed, but my grip is tight
Holding on to the dark, reaching for the light
[Verse 2]
Cowboy hat tilted, shadow like a sundial
Time don't wait, so I walk the extra mile
Guitar case heavy, soul even heavier
Voices in my head like an outlaw's courier
[Prechorus]
Empty hands, but the fire won't fade
Burning trails where legends are made
[Chorus]
Empty-handed, nothing to show
But the stories I carry, seeds I sow
Empty-handed, but my grip is tight
Holding on to the dark, reaching for the light
