Still standing(Dust on my Boots)

Still Standing (Dust on My Boots)

Verse 1

I grew up where the blacktop fades,

Pine trees whisper through the days.

Granddad taught me, “Keep your word,”

That’s the finest thing I’ve ever heard.

Swung a hammer, earned my pay,

Sunrise coffee, long hard days.

Life threw curves I never saw,

But I ain’t never backed down at all.

Pre-Chorus

Every scar’s another mile,

Every storm just shaped my style.

Chorus

I’ve got dust on my boots, fire in my soul,

Broken roads never broke my goals.

I’ve lost some things I can’t replace,

But I still wear a smile on my face.

Raise ‘em high, here’s to another round,

You can’t keep a country heart down.

When tomorrow comes, I’ll still be strong,

Just another verse in my country song.

Verse 2

Built with boards and calloused hands,

Dreamed up bigger, wilder plans.

Trading cards and garden rows,

Always planting what tomorrow grows.

Love has come and love has gone,

Still I keep on moving on.

Every chapter writes itself,

Never needed somebody else.

Bridge

If the wind keeps blowing, let it blow.

If the rain keeps falling, let it flow.

I’m still chasing every sunrise glow,

’Cause this old heart only knows…

Final Chorus

I’ve got dust on my boots, fire in my soul,

Faith enough to carry the load.

I’ve seen hard times, I’ve seen grace,

Both of them helped make this place.

So turn it up, let the tailgate drop,

This country heart ain’t gonna stop.

As long as these old boots hold on,

I’ll keep singing my country song.

Outro

Yeah, life ain’t perfect… that’s alright.

Every sunrise starts with night.

Here’s to the road that brought me along…

Still standing… still singing… my country song.
