Ash In My Boots

Ash In My Boots

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I walked the fire line

With a cold clean face

Saw the black in men

And I stayed in place

I took the hook and blade

Kept my jaw locked tight

So you could sleep in peace

On a borrowed night

[Pre-Chorus]

I seen the wolves come round

At the edge of town

I learned their names by heart

Then I burned them down

[Chorus]

Let it hit me first

Let it break my skin

I can wear the curse

So you don’t bring it in

I’ll take the long way down

I’ll carry what I can

If the world comes hungry

I’ll be the wall that stands

[Verse 2]

There’s blood in the churchyard dust

And lies in the trade

There’s a smile on a shaking hand

Where a good deal’s made

I’ve buried my good intentions

In a ditch of grit

Still I hold that line

With a flint and a split

[Pre-Chorus]

I seen the wolves come round

At the edge of town

I learned their names by heart

Then I burned them down

[Chorus]

Let it hit me first

Let it break my skin

I can wear the curse

So you don’t bring it in

I’ll take the long way down

I’ll carry what I can

If the world comes hungry

I’ll be the wall that stands

[Bridge]

I ain’t asking for mercy

I ain’t asking why

Somebody had to stand there

Under a dead black sky

If I go out mean

Let the record say

I kept the door shut

And sent the dark away

[Final Chorus]

Let it hit me first

Let it break my skin

I can wear the curse

So you don’t bring it in

I’ll take the long way down

I’ll carry what I can

If the world comes hungry

I’ll be the wall that stands

I’ll be the wall that stands

Style

Dark country-rock-blues with a stoic mid-tempo stomp, dusty acoustic guitar under droning electric slide, brushed snare and rootsy tom fills; verse stays sparse and hard-bitten, pre-chorus opens with rising harmony and harmonica swell, chorus lands on gang-vocal grit and a repeating hook, bridge drops to solo voice and bass pulse before the final chorus. Rough close-mic male vocal, dry doubles on key lines, short delay throws on the hook word, crackling room tone and faint amp hiss for ear candy, wide and weathered mix., rock, world, blues, country
