One thing you should know, just treat them well
These boots will stand by you heaven or hell
And I know when you're younger
The road looks straight and simple
But there are way more ups and downs
Than you can tell
New shine like pearl and black like coal
Unwritten stories in their soles
But that won't last forever
One day you'll crack the leather
Until you wear them out
Trust me I know
They will step trip and fall
And walk a million miles
Draw more distance between us
As the years go by
Till the day they run back home
Home just to find
Those boots that once were brand new
They will look just like mine
They'll be with you where I can't go
Just like my father told me so
I just hope before you're older
You'll look over your shoulder
And wave goodbye before you hit the road
They will step trip and fall
And walk a million miles
Draw more distance between us
As the years go by
Till the day they run back home
Home just to find
Those boots that once were brand new
They will look just like mine
Just like mine
Till the day they run back home
Home just to find
Those boots that once were brand new
They will look just like mine
Once they step, trip and fall
And walk a million miles
There won't be space between us
'Cause I'll be by your side
And you'll finally be back home
Home just to find
Those boots that once were brand new
Now they look just like mine
Now they look just like mine
