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
