Dusty Boots and City Lights

[Intro] [Verse 1] In a one-stoplight town, where the days drag slow, I laced up my boots, said I’m ready to go. Packed my old truck, left the gravel behind, Chased that city skyline, sure I’d finally shine. [Chorus] Oh, the city skyline lied with its neon glow, Taught me a hard lesson only time could know. Turns out dreams ain’t just roads you ain’t driven, Everything I wanted was where I was livin’. [Verse 2] The streets were cold, and the lights burned bright, I got lost in the rush, forgot who I was at night. My boots grew dusty, but my heart stayed clean, Missed the sound of crickets, not the traffic machine. [Chorus] Oh, the city skyline lied with its neon glow, Taught me a hard lesson only time could know. Turns out dreams ain’t just roads you ain’t driven, Everything I wanted was where I was livin’. [Bridge] I dialed Mama’s number, voice cracked through the line, Said, “The world’s too big when you’re lost in your mind.” Turned my wheels home, where the dirt road bends, Found my roots run deeper than those city pretend. [Chorus] Oh, the city skyline lied with its neon glow, Taught me a hard lesson only time could know. Turns out dreams ain’t just roads you ain’t driven, Everything I wanted was where I was livin’. [Outro] Now I’m driving home where the road meets dirt, Learned the hard way—home’s the place that don’t hurt. That one-stoplight town’s got my heart in its grip, And these dusty boots? Yeah, they’re done with the trip.
