Title: “Dust on My Boots (West Texas Moon)” (Verse 1) Sun comin’ up over that oilfield sky Pump jacks bowin’ like they’re prayin’ as the day rolls by Got a thermos full of coffee and a Chevy that’s beat With a little George Jones playin’ low and sweet There’s a long two-lane stretch past Abilene Where the wind still whispers through the mesquite green I was raised on grit, on faith, on truth With a little red dirt dust on my boots (Chorus) Oh, West Texas moon, hangin’ big and bright Shinin’ on the plains every lonely night From Odessa lights to a Lubbock tune My heart still howls like a coyote’s croon You can take the boy, but you can’t uproot The wild, wide wind and the rattlesnake roots I’ll always come back like a tumbleweed blown To that West Texas land I call my home (Verse 2) Friday night lights in a small town crowd Bleachers shakin’ while the band plays loud Mama’s in the stands, daddy tips his hat Preacher’s son runnin’ a post like that After the game we’d drive out slow To a caliche road where the bluebonnets grow Radio cracklin’ with an old love song And a girl who made this cowboy strong (Chorus) Oh, West Texas moon, hangin’ big and bright Shinin’ on the plains every restless night From Midland yards to Amarillo dunes There’s a steel guitar cryin’ out of tune You can chase your dreams down a railroad route But they all lead back where your roots run stout I’ll always come back like a tumbleweed blown To that West Texas land I call my home (Bridge) Storm clouds rollin’ like a freight train sound Lightning dancin’ on the dry hard ground We don’t scare easy, we don’t back down We plant our pride in stubborn ground And when the north wind cuts like a knife We hold our women and we hold this life (Final Chorus) Oh, West Texas moon, keep shinin’ on me Through the cotton fields and refinery From El Paso sunsets to a porch swing tune Underneath that same old harvest moon When my days are done, lay me down to rest Where the coyotes cry and the sky’s God-blessed With a six-string hymn and a worn-out tone In that West Texas land I call my home (Outro) Yeah, put a little red dirt over these roots And let that dust settle on my boots… 🤠
