Where My Boots Belong
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Some nights it’s a stage
Some days it’s a job
Another town
Another parking lot
Different room
Same blank walls
I lie awake
When the silence falls
I can sing all night
Till the last one’s gone
But every road
Still leads me home
[Pre-Chorus]
This life keeps calling
So we carry on
But every mile reminds me
Where I belong
[Chorus]
I miss my wife
In that kitchen light
Those puppy dogs
Keeping watch all night
My own old bed
And that ceiling fan
Supper on the table
Made with her hands
I miss muddy paws
Running across the floor
My coat still hanging
By the back screen door
The road may be
Where I have to roam
But I know where
My boots belong
[Post-Chorus]
Where my boots belong
Oh, I know where my boots belong
[Verse 2]
I’ve eaten late
From a paper plate
In another town
I won’t remember the name
There’s nothing wrong
With a roadside meal
But it ain’t home
And it never will
I miss filling bowls
While they crowd my feet
One wants outside
One steals my seat
And the way she smiles
When I walk back in
Like she always knew
I’d come home again
[Pre-Chorus]
I chose this life
And I know the cost
But some nights out here
I feel what I’ve lost
[Chorus]
I miss my wife
In that kitchen light
Those puppy dogs
Keeping watch all night
My own old bed
And that ceiling fan
Supper on the table
Made with her hands
I miss muddy paws
Running across the floor
My coat still hanging
By the back screen door
The road may be
Where I have to roam
But I know where
My boots belong
[Post-Chorus]
Where my boots belo-o-o-ong
I know where I belong
[Bridge]
It ain’t the house
It ain’t the land
It’s waking up
And finding her hand
Coffee brewing
Before the dawn
Dogs at the window
When they hear my truck come on
It’s all those things
That nobody sees
That keep that little piece of home
Alive in me
[Solo]
[Final Chorus]
I miss my wife
In that kitchen light
Those puppy dogs
Keeping watch all night
My own old bed
And that ceiling fan
Supper on the table
Made with her hands
I miss muddy paws
Running across the floor
My coat still hanging
By the back screen door
The road may call
But it won’t be long
Till I’m back where
My boots belong
Where my boots belo-o-o-o-ong
I’m coming home
Yeah, I know where
My boots belong
[Outro]
Leave the porch light on
I’m counting down the miles
Tell those dogs I’m coming
I’ll be home in a little while
The road may call
But not for long
I’m headed back
Where my boots belong
Where my boots belo-o-o
