[Verse 1]
My dad came home
With the storm in his eyes
He never bragged
He just taught me to rise
Patch on his sleeve
And a scar on his hand
He said, "Son, stay ready
And stand where you stand"
[Pre-Chorus]
He showed me how
To take a hit
How to keep my feet
And never quit
[Chorus]
I wear his boots
I wear his boots
I learned to live
I learned to lose
I wear his boots
I wear his boots
Now I’m serving too
Just like you
[Verse 2]
He woke me up
When the world felt cold
Said "Hold your line
And keep your hold"
Now I march out
With his words in my chest
Same iron heart
Same hard test
[Pre-Chorus]
He showed me how
To take a hit
How to keep my feet
And never quit
[Chorus]
I wear his boots
I wear his boots
I learned to live
I learned to lose
I wear his boots
I wear his boots
Now I’m serving too
Just like you
[Bridge]
If I fall down
I hear his name
If I grow weak
I stand the same
Not just his son
I’m his proof
Same road
Same boots
[Final Chorus]
I wear his boots
I wear his boots
I learned to live
I learned to lose
I wear his boots
I wear his boots
Now I’m serving too
Just like you
