Boots Like Mine

There's boots like mine

On the billboard by the highway, exit 209

All the signs point down to Broadway if you want that shine

For a pretty dime then you can buy

Boots like mine

Ain't the kind my daddy still wears down on the line

His old steel town steel toe pair built for overtime

And extra miles blue collar style

Raise it up, whatever you get high on

Here's to leather and laced up nylon

Rubber soles under old work benches

Caked up treads in the trenches

Raise it up, like a lighter in the sky salute

To the shoes that paved a hard road through

The dust, the mud, the blood

The ones who paid the price

For boots like mine

Boots like mine

In the second bedroom down the hall where a mother lies

Waiting on a phone call from a satellite

On the front lines where her baby wears a different kind

Raise it up, whatever you get high on

Here's to leather and laced up nylon

Rubber soles under old work benches

Caked up treads in the trenches

Raise it up, like a lighter in the sky salute

To the shoes that paved a hard road through

The dust, the mud, the blood

The ones who paid the price

For boots like mine
