Dust On My Boots

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I had a home with a screen door slam Had a good girl, a working hand I burned that bridge for a pocket of change Ran with the wolves and I wore that shame [Pre-Chorus] But the long road taught me slow What a hard man needs to know When your name goes cold And your shadow won't let go [Chorus] I’m comin’ back clean Yeah, I’m comin’ back clean Say my name if you mean it I’m not the man I’ve been I’m comin’ back clean I’m comin’ back clean From the mud, from the fire I’m walkin’ back in [Verse 2] Saw my face in a truck stop glass Bloodshot eyes and a jagged past A jailhouse Bible and a busted knee That was the world gettin’ through to me [Pre-Chorus] Now I keep my hands to work Try to mend what I hurt If there’s grace for a man like me I’m gonna earn it, make it plain to see [Chorus] I’m comin’ back clean Yeah, I’m comin’ back clean Say my name if you mean it I’m not the man I’ve been I’m comin’ back clean I’m comin’ back clean From the mud, from the fire I’m walkin’ back in [Bridge] I still hear those old sirens Still taste that leaden pride But I laid it down at midnight For the first honest night of my life [Final Chorus] I’m comin’ back clean Yeah, I’m comin’ back clean Say my name if you mean it I’m not the man I’ve been I’m comin’ back clean I’m comin’ back clean From the mud, from the fire I’m walkin’ back in
