[Intro]
Camo pants, laces tied, stepping out the door
No parade, no camouflage, I know what I came for
[Verse 1]
Olive on the fabric, pockets full of plans
Dust along the hem from the work I understand
You said, “Where you headed?” I said, “Anywhere I can”
With a folded map, a cold drink, and a steady pair of hands
Stitching on the knee, little tear I never hide
Every mark has got a story from the miles I took in stride
You can keep the polished jacket, keep the mirror on the wall
I like clothes that earn their place and don’t complain at all
[Pre-Chorus]
You look twice when I walk by
Not for show, I won’t explain why
[Chorus]
Camo pants, camo pants, moving through the room
Green and brown, but I stand out when I make a little room
Camo pants, camo pants, ready for the road
Got my whole day in these pockets, carrying my own load
[Verse 2]
Phone on silent, keys beside the faded seam
You can tell a lot about a man by what he keeps
I’ve been building from the ground, now the ground remembers me
Every step is mine to take, every turn is something new to see
Rain came down, I kept the same route
Mud on the cuff, still I figured it out
You were waiting by the gate with a laugh I know too well
Said, “Those pants again?” I said, “They’ve got stories left to tell”
[Bridge]
If the trail gets rough, I don’t need a sign
If the night runs long, I’ll be doing fine
You can dress me up, but I’ll still be
The same one you met, walking wild and free
[Chorus]
Camo pants, camo pants, moving through the room
Green and brown, but I stand out when I make a little room
Camo pants, camo pants, ready for the road
Got my whole day in these pockets, carrying my own load
[Outro]
Camo pants, laces tied, heading out once more
No parade, no camouflage—just me and what’s in store
