[Intro] (slow guitar, low bar noise) [Verse 1] Been a long year ridin’ down these roads Workin’ hard, carryin’ heavy loads Got some dust on this old hat brim But I ain’t done, I ain’t givin’ in [Pre-Chorus] Still got a little fire left in me Ain’t as lost as I used to be [Chorus] I’m back on my boots, back on the ground Back in a place where they know my sound Got my guitar and a heart that’s true Yeah I’m standin’ here like I got somethin’ to prove Raise a glass if you’ve been knocked down too Ain’t how you fall, it’s what you do I took some hits, but I made it through Now I’m back on my boots [Verse 2] There were nights I didn’t know my name Nothin’ but silence and empty pain But I heard a song on an old FM And it brought me right back again [Pre-Chorus] Every wrong turn, every mile Led me right back here somehow [Chorus] I’m back on my boots, back on the ground Back in a place where they know my sound Got my guitar and a heart that’s true Yeah I’m standin’ here like I got somethin’ to prove Raise a glass if you’ve been knocked down too Ain’t how you fall, it’s what you do I took some hits, but I made it through Now I’m back on my boots [Bridge] (stripped down, honest) I ain’t chasin’ fame or lights Just want a song and a Friday night A few good friends and a place to stand That’s all I need to be a man [Verse 3] (building back up) Yeah I learned you can’t run from the past You gotta face it, make it last Every scar and every bruise Taught me how I got these boots [Final Chorus] (full band, warm and strong) I’m back on my boots, back on the ground Back where the lost get found Got my guitar and a heart that’s true Yeah I’m right where I’m meant to be, singin’ for you Raise a glass if you’ve been knocked down too Ain’t how you fall, it’s what you do I took some hits, but I made it through Now I’m back on my boots [Outro] (fading guitar, soft vocal) Yeah I’m back… Back on my boots…
