Dusty Boots, Heavy Heart

My boots are worn from chasing peace,
The miles don’t stop, they just increase.
Every town feels like a scar,
I keep my pain inside this car.

Ain’t no rest on this red clay road,
Each step carries a different load.
Dust on my soul, fire in my chest,
Tryin’ to find where I can rest.

The road don’t lie, it just reveals,
The man beneath the scars and steel.

Dusty boots, heavy heart,
Fallin’ pieces, torn apart.
Still I walk, through wind and rain,
Dusty boots, but I remain.

The sun goes down, my shadow grows,
Every choice a seed that shows.
I’ve lost more love than I can tell,
But I keep movin’ — that’s my spell.

The barroom glow, the preacher’s cry,
Both sound the same when hope runs dry.
I’ve prayed for peace, I’ve prayed for fight,
Both just fade into the night.

You can’t outwalk what burns inside,
But you can learn to let it ride.

Dusty boots, heavy heart,
Faith and fire, worlds apart.
Every mile, a brand-new start,
Dusty boots, heavy heart.

I’ve buried names and burned my past,
But some sins just tend to last.
The wind still hums the songs I knew,
Each one stained with shades of blue.

Still I stand, no crown, no throne,
Just a man carved out of stone.
If peace don’t come, I’ll play my part,
With dusty boots and a heavy heart.

Grace don’t shout — it softly waits,
Behind the dust of broken fates.

Dusty boots, heavy heart,
Tryin’ to mend what fell apart.
The road’s my pain, the sky my art,
Dusty boots, heavy heart.

When my tracks fade into gray,
Don’t mourn the steps I gave away.
Each mark I left, each fall, each start,
Built these boots and this old heart.

So when I’m gone, let the dust remain,
A man’s true worth is born in pain.
No gold, no fame, no second part —
Just dusty boots and a heavy heart.

The wind still sings where I once stood,
Heavy heart, but it beats good.

Dusty boots, heavy heart,
Ain’t no end — just where you start.
Every mile, every scar,
Leads me home, heavy heart.
