Woke up before that sunrise glow
Same old truck, same broken road
Coffee cold in a paper cup
Bills on the dash, stackin’ up
Mama’s picture on the passenger side
She used to say, “Son, just take it in stride”
But some days feel like a losing fight
Just me and the weight of another night
Yeah, I’ve bent but I ain’t broke
Still chasing down that little bit of hope
I got dust on my boots, pain in my bones
A past that follows me wherever I roam
Hands full of calluses, heart full of scars
Still praying to God underneath these stars
I’ve been knocked down more times than I can count
But I get back up, that’s what I’m about
Yeah, life ain’t easy, but I won’t give up
Just a broken man with dust on my boots
Lost my job in a small-town mill
Now I’m scraping by on a one-day deal
She packed her bags, said she couldn’t stay
Took my whole world and walked away
Got a boy who asks when I’m coming home
Through a crackling line on a worn-out phone
I tell him, “Son, I’m doing my best”
But that don’t ease this ache in my ches
Every mile feels like a test
But I keep on driving, I won’t rest
I got dust on my boots, pain in my bones
A past that follows me wherever I roam
Hands full of calluses, heart full of scars
Still praying to God underneath these stars
I’ve been knocked down more times than I can count
But I get back up, that’s what I’m about
Yeah, life ain’t easy, but I won’t give up
Just a broken man with dust on my boots
Maybe someday I’ll find my way
To a front porch view at the end of the day
With my boy by my side, no more goodbyes
Just peace in my soul and truth in my eyes
Yeah, I’m tired… but I ain’t done yet
Still got dust on my boots, but I’m standing tall
Through the rise and the hurt, I’ve weathered it all
These scars tell a story I don’t regret
Every tear, every mile, every drop of sweat
Yeah, I’ve been lost, but I’ve found my ground
In the fight to live, I won’t back down
Life tried to break me, but I’m still tough
Just a healing man with dust on my boots
Yeah, just a healing man…
With dust on my boots…
