Ash In My Boots
Lyrics
Verse 1
I woke up on a cot
With my boots by the door
Same hard face in the glass
I ain't that man no more
I used to chase the numb
Like it owed me a crown
Now I take one sober breath
And let that old life drown
Pre-Chorus
I'm learning how to sit still
Let the bad days pass
One small step, one clean line
I don't want that old crash
Chorus
I'm leaving it behind
Leaving it behind
Ash in my boots
But I walk the line
I'm leaving it behind
Leaving it behind
I got a clearer mind
And a better kind of time
Verse 2
Now I call my sister back
When the weight gets mean
I keep my hands on honest work
And my heart more clean
I still hear those old roads
When the night gets long
But I choose a different turn
I choose a better song
Pre-Chorus
I'm learning how to sit still
Let the bad days pass
One small step, one clean line
I don't want that old crash
Chorus
I'm leaving it behind
Leaving it behind
Ash in my boots
But I walk the line
I'm leaving it behind
Leaving it behind
I got a clearer mind
And a better kind of time
Bridge
There's scars under my sleeves
And they tell the truth
I don't need to be the man
That I was in my youth
I can look at my own face
And not turn away
I made it through the fire
I'm here to stay
Chorus
I'm leaving it behind
Leaving it behind
Ash in my boots
But I walk the line
I'm leaving it behind
Leaving it behind
I got a clearer mind
And a better kind of time
