Dust on my boots

Verse 1:

I see her every mornin’, sittin’ in that same old seat,

Sunlight in her hair, boots danglin’ by her feet.

And I rehearse a thousand lines, but they all fall through,

‘Cause my voice gets shaky every time I get the view.

Pre-Chorus:

My buddies tell me “go on, man, just give it a try,”

But it’s kinda hard to be brave when she’s lookin’ that fine.

Chorus:

I got dust on my boots and a heart full of doubt,

Tryin’ to find the words but they just won’t come out.

Yeah, I’m starin’ at the ground while she’s right there shinin’,

Wishin’ confidence was somethin’ you could find in a diamond.

One of these days I’ll tell her the truth…

But for now there’s just dust on my boots.

Verse 2:

She laughs with her friends, and man, that sound’s like home,

Makes me feel like I’ve known her even though I don’t.

I practice in the mirror like a fool each night,

But when she smiles my way, my mind takes flight.

Pre-Chorus:

I ain’t scared of storms or a hard day’s work,

But talkin’ to her? Man, that stuff hurts.

Chorus:

I got dust on my boots and a heart full of doubt,

Tryin’ to find the words but they just won’t come out.

Yeah, I’m starin’ at the ground while she’s right there shinin’,

Wishin’ confidence was somethin’ you could find in a diamond.

One of these days I’ll tell her the truth…

But for now there’s just dust on my boots.

Bridge:

Maybe tomorrow I’ll finally stand tall,

Walk right up and give her my all.

But tonight I’m just hummin’ this tune,

Talkin’ to the stars and the open moon.

Final Chorus:

I got dust on my boots and a heart full of doubt,

Tryin’ to find the words but they just won’t come out.

But maybe someday soon, I’ll quit hidin’ and try…

‘Til then I’ll keep dreamin’ under this country sky.

Yeah, one day I’ll tell her the truth…

But for now there’s just dust on my boot
