[Verse 1]
These soles are cracked
From red dirt roads
They've seen my name
In pawn shop rows
Mud on the toe
Rain in the seam
They've walked me home
From a half-bad dream

[Pre-Chorus]
If they could lean
Right off that shelf
They'd tell the truth
I won't tell myself

[Chorus]
If these old boots could talk
They'd tell it straight
Every mile I lost
Every night I stayed
If these old boots could talk
They'd know my ways
How I stumbled in
How I found my way

[Verse 2]
They kicked a fence
They danced at a fair
They stood by the truck
In cold county air
One got burned
By a barnyard spark
One got worn down
By a broken heart

[Pre-Chorus]
They've heard the lies
I've tried to sell
They know that look
Too well, too well

[Chorus]
If these old boots could talk
They'd tell it straight
Every mile I lost
Every night I stayed
If these old boots could talk
They'd know my ways
How I stumbled in
How I found my way

[Bridge]
They'd say, boy, slow down
Quit runnin' scared
There's grace in dust
And a heart laid bare
There's love in the scuffs
There's strength in the stains
And every hard road
Still leaves a name

[Chorus]
If these old boots could talk
They'd tell it straight
Every mile I lost
Every night I stayed
If these old boots could talk
They'd know my ways
How I stumbled in
How I found my way
