Souls Of My Shoes

Lyrics

Verse 1
Clock in before the sun
Clock out when it’s gone
Lunch box empty
Truck gas cut to bone

Pockets full of lint
Bills piled on the dash
I keep chasing Friday
But it keeps stepping back

Pre-Chorus
My hands don’t quit
Even when I do
I been giving my best
Just to break right through

Chorus
Souls of my shoes
Souls of my shoes
I wear ’em out for you
I wear ’em out for you

Working every day
Till my soles turn blue
Souls of my shoes
Souls of my shoes

Verse 2
Rain through the barn roof
Mud on my cuffs
Rice in the skillet
Ain’t ever quite enough

Mama says, hold on
Boy, don’t fold in the dust
But the road gets long
When the money don’t come

Pre-Chorus
My hands don’t quit
Even when I do
I been giving my best
Just to break right through

Chorus
Souls of my shoes
Souls of my shoes
I wear ’em out for you
I wear ’em out for you

Working every day
Till my soles turn blue
Souls of my shoes
Souls of my shoes

Bridge
If I’m honest, baby
I’m tired to the bone
Been bleeding paychecks
Just to keep this house a home

But I still show up
With the dirt on my name
If I got one thing left
It’s the will to stay

Final Chorus
Souls of my shoes
Souls of my shoes
I wear ’em out for you
I wear ’em out for you

Working every day
Till my soles turn blue
Souls of my shoes
Souls of my shoes

Slow dying in the dust
Still trying to get through
Souls of my shoes
Souls of my shoes
