Lyrics
Verse 1
You left your coffee coldOn my chipped blue sinkSaid you needed roomI said, "Baby, think"The porch light shookIn the summer heatYour truck rolled slowDown Maple Street
Pre‑Chorus
I stood there laughingAt my own damn tearsFelt that old oak screen doorCreak in my ears
Chorus
Copper rain bootsBy the back doorI won't chase youLike I did beforeCopper rain bootsWalkin' back to meI can love loudAnd still stay freeCopper rain boots
Verse 2
I found your noteBy the sugar jarTwo lines gone crookedUnder the mason jarSaid don't look backSaid don't call tonightSo I burned that pageIn the porch swing light
Pre‑Chorus
I heard the cricketsTear the dark apartThen I took your nameOff my weathered heart
Chorus
Copper rain bootsBy the back doorI won't chase youLike I did beforeCopper rain bootsWalkin' back to meI can love loudAnd still stay freeCopper rain boots
Bridge
Let the rain come downLet it wash the red clay cleanI kept every little thingBut I ain't keepin' me
Final Chorus
Copper rain bootsBy the back doorI won't chase youLike I did beforeCopper rain bootsWalkin' back to meI can love loudAnd still stay freeCopper rain bootsWatch me leaveCopper rain boots
