Lyrics
[Intro] (Fingerpicked acoustic)
Mmm…
Yeah…
[Verse 1]
I’ve worn these jeans a thousand miles,
Dust on leather, easy smile.
Hands that earned what they hold,
More grit than silver, more heart than gold.
That suit looks good on someone else,
Never fit the way I felt.
I’d rather stand where the pines unwind…
These boots don’t shine.
[Verse 2]
Old truck humming down a backroad lane,
Sun on my face, dirt on the frame.
I don’t need a tailored name,
The man I am won’t ever change.
Leave the polish on the shelf,
I’m more comfortable being myself.
I don’t need a finish fine…
These boots don’t shine.
[Chorus] (Full band, soaring harmonies)
These boots don’t shine,
They’re made for roads like mine.
I’d rather wear the dust of time
Than trade this life for a suit and tie.
These boots don’t shine,
But they never leave me behind.
If rugged’s all they’ll ever find,
That’s alright…
These boots don’t shine.
[Bridge] (Electric guitar builds)
The wind don’t care what label’s sewn,
The earth remembers where you’ve grown.
I’d rather leave my tracks behind
Than chase a life that isn’t mine.
[Final Chorus] (Big harmony lift)
These boots don’t shine,
They’re made for roads like mine.
I’d rather wear the dust of time
Than trade this life for a suit and tie.
These boots don’t shine,
That’s the way I’ve lived my life.
No regrets, no change of mind…
These boots don’t shine.
[Outro] (Fading electric guitar)
Yeah…
These boots don’t shine.
And they never have to.
