Boots to the dust V1

Lyrics

*(Verse 1)*
I traded my uniform for a faded old shirt,
Left the barracks behind, but it still feels like dirt.
My brothers in arms are scattered far and wide,
And I'm standing here alone, with no place left to hide.

*(Chorus)*
From boots to the dust, yeah I’m feeling lost,
Freedom’s heavy now – oh what a cost.
The echoes of orders rattling ‘round in my mind,
Just trying to find me on the other side of time.

*(Verse 2)*
The sunrise shines bright over this sleepy town,
But all these big dreams feel too heavy to crown.
In crowded rooms filled with laughter and cheer,
I'm just searching for solace when nobody's near.

*(Chorus)*
From boots to the dust, yeah I’m feeling lost,
Freedom’s heavy now – oh what a cost.
The echoes of orders rattling ‘round in my mind,
Just trying to find me on the other side of time.

*(Bridge)*
I drive down those backroads where we used to roll free,
Got a heart full of lessons but don't know how to be me.
Sometimes I wake at midnight haunted by thoughts,
Of battles still raging wherever I've fought.

*(Verse 3)*
But there's strength in these scars that tell stories so bold;
With every misstep I'm learning what life holds.
So I'll pick up this guitar and pour out my soul—
Embracing each moment as part of my goal.

*(Chorus)*
From boots to the dust, yes I'm finding peace,
In small town whispers where I can release.
The weight starts lifting with each strum tonight—
Finding hope in this journey feels more than alright.

*(Outro)*
So I'll wear these worn jeans like armor again—
Walking forward towards new horizons and friends.
Though it ain’t an easy road paved under that sun…
This cowboy's learning slowly his battle ain't done.
