Dust On Boots

Lyrics

Verse 1
You left your coffee ring
On that old tin table
I still see your keys
By the cracked front door
The screen still hangs
And the wind keeps knocking
Like it knows your name
Better than I do

Pre-Chorus
I hear those boots
On the porch boards
Step by step
Like a funeral song
I keep the porch light on
For what ain't coming home
Keep the porch light on
And it hurts so long

Chorus
March on, march on
Through this broke-down heart
March on, march on
Till the dark falls apart
You took my last good
And I still stand here
March on, march on
With my tears in gear (march on)

Verse 2
Your jacket's on a nail
By the faded calendar
June is still pinned
Where you kissed me once
The beans burn low
In the black iron pot
And I eat alone
Just to keep the day

Pre-Chorus
I hear those boots
On the porch boards
Step by step
Like a funeral song
I keep the porch light on
For what ain't coming home
Keep the porch light on
And it hurts so long

Chorus
March on, march on
Through this broke-down heart
March on, march on
Till the dark falls apart
You took my last good
And I still stand here
March on, march on
With my tears in gear (march on)

Bridge
If I let go now
What would I hold?
Just this house full of echoes
And a hard, cold road
But I know my feet
They still know the way
One slow step
At the end of the day

Final Chorus
March on, march on
Through this broke-down heart
March on, march on
Till the dark falls apart
You took my last good
And I still stand here
March on, march on
With my tears in gear (march on)

Outro
March on
March on
I still stand here
