Boots On The Line

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mud on my boots Dust in my hair Grew up on hard work And a prayer in the air Momma said stand tall Dad said hold the line I learned what a promise means Young and bloodline [Pre-Chorus] When the cold wind hits And the doubt rolls in I square my shoulders And I dig my chin If the whole world shakes I don’t let go I was made for the fire That’s all I know [Chorus] Proud American I stand my ground (Stand my ground) Army strong I don’t back down (I don’t back down) If you come for mine You’ll find me there Boots on the line With a steely stare [Verse 2] Top of my collar Sleeves rolled tight Letters from home In my shirt at night I’ve seen gray dawns And I’ve seen pain But I keep moving Through the wind and rain Every scar I earned Tells the truth I wear I don’t bend easy I don’t break there [Pre-Chorus] When the drums get low And the road runs thin I hear that old promise Rise again For the ones I love And the flag I know I was made for the fire That’s all I know [Chorus] Proud American I stand my ground (Stand my ground) Army strong I don’t back down (I don’t back down) If you come for mine You’ll find me there Boots on the line With a steely stare [Bridge] I’ve walked through fear I’ve walked through rain Kept my name clean Kept my chain If my time comes now I’ll meet it straight With my hand on my heart And my boots by the gate [Chorus] Proud American I stand my ground (Stand my ground) Army strong I don’t back down (I don’t back down) If you come for mine You’ll find me there Boots on the line With a steely stare [Outro] Stand my ground (I don’t back down) Boots on the line Proud American
