Lyrics
Verse 1
I kick them off and the day lets goTwo old boots where you like them, lowYou see that pair and you know I’m inThat’s a whole welcome without the grin
Chorus
Boots by the doorI made itBoots by the doorYou waited
Verse 2
Mud on the heel and a broken laceStill they mean I found this placeYou step around them like a sacred signThose boots are proof that you’re still mine
Chorus
Boots by the doorI made itBoots by the doorYou waited
Bridge
Some men leave maps, some leave a nameI leave leather and I leave the sameA working trail that ends at youThat’s the only ending I want true
Verse 3
Morning comes and I pull them onYou kiss my cheek and you send me onI already see tonight’s refrainBoots by the door, home again
Chorus
Boots by the doorI made itBoots by the doorYou waited
Bridge
Keep that space like a little vowI’ll keep filling it the best I know howWhen they carry me out, leave the pairProof I lived and you were there
