I see you laughin', mouth too big, spit-talk hero, playin' slick.

Crown yourself in empty rooms, say you'd win — but never move.

Words fall dead before they land, loud as thunder, soft as sand.

 

Chorus

You're just the dirt on my boots,

kick it off, keep movin' on.

I stand clean in the daylight,

you're still barkin' at what's gone.

You're just the dirt on my boots

ain't carryin' you along.

 

Neon flicker, last call grin, starin' down what might've been.

You'd trade your pride to stand right here,

feel this road, feel somethin' real.

You burned the map, you cursed the sign,

now you blame the miles, not time.

 

 Heel on my back,

thought I'd stay,

called it love,

I called it pain.

​

I learned to walk through blood and rust,

left your name where trust don't last.

Truth don't kneel, don't soften lines

it steps ahead and cuts the tie.

 

Chorus

You're just the dirt on my boots,

kick it off, keep movin' on.

I stand clean in the daylight,

you're still barkin' at what's gone.

You're just the dirt on my boots ain't carryin' you - ain't carryin' anything.
