[Verse 1]
Back in two-double-oh
Muddy knees, cheap bike
Saturday on the cul-de-sac
Hand-me-down jeans fit right
Dad taught me work hard
Mama said stay real
Between a creek and a gravel road
That’s where I learned how to feel
[Pre-Chorus]
We’d race the sun home
Then run it right back
Shirts full of fireflies
And a pocket full of gas
No fancy names on me
Just a face I know by heart
If you ask where I’m from
It’s right here in the dark
[Chorus]
Mud on my boots, that’s me
Mud on my boots, set free
Proud of my name
Proud of my roots
Mud on my boots, that’s me
(mud on my boots)
[Verse 2]
Now I’m out by the lake
Pole bent, line tight
Tent in the pines
Stars cut the sky
Cooler full of ice
Old truck by the trail
I don’t need a big show
To know I’m doin’ well
[Pre-Chorus]
If the world gets loud
I get low and breathe
Hook a bass at dawn
And let the water speak
Same old heart in me
Same dirt on my hands
I won’t trade my soul
For a suit and a plan
[Chorus]
Mud on my boots, that’s me
Mud on my boots, set free
Proud of my name
Proud of my roots
Mud on my boots, that’s me
(mud on my boots)
[Bridge]
I ain’t changing for a crowd
Ain’t chasing what they show
I got pine smoke on my jacket
And a home in the road
From the creek to the campsite
I stand where I belong
Still that kid from the 2000s
Singin’ my own song
[Chorus]
Mud on my boots, that’s me
Mud on my boots, set free
Proud of my name
Proud of my roots
Mud on my boots, that’s me
(mud on my boots)
