[Intro]
(Instrumental intro featuring acoustic guitar, pedal steel guitar, and a steady drum b**t)
[Verse 1]
Sun dips low on the county line
Another long day fadin' out of sight
That old familiar ache starts settin' in
A restless heart just knows it's time again
To pack the truck, leave the porch light dim
Chase the horizon where the dreams begin
The radio hums a lonesome tune
Matches the rhythm of this dusty moon
[Chorus]
So dust off your boots, let your voice shine
Sing it loud beneath the southern sky's design
Forget the heartache, leave the past behind
Just you, the open road, and a peace of mind
Let the twang ring true, tell a story bold
Of freedom found and futures to unfold
Yeah, dust off your boots, let your soul take flight
Turn the headlights on and kiss the town goodnight
[Verse 2]
Memories flicker like a neon sign
Down at the bar where we wasted time
Whisperin' secrets, makin' foolish plans
Before life scattered us like desert sands
But lessons learned on bended knee
Are the only souvenirs I need to keep
The highway calls with a lullaby
A promise written in the passin' by
[Chorus]
So dust off your boots, let your voice shine
Sing it loud beneath the southern sky's design
Forget the heartache, leave the past behind
Just you, the open road, and a peace of mind
Let the twang ring true, tell a story bold
Of freedom found and futures to unfold
Yeah, dust off your boots, let your soul take flight
Turn the headlights on and kiss the town goodnight
[Bridge]
It's more than sound, it's a feelin' deep
A truth the miles alone will let you keep
The hum of tires on the asphalt stream
Weavin' your life into a country dream
No map required, just a willin' heart
And the courage right from the very start
To let the melody rise up strong and free
That's the only place this soul was meant to be
[Chorus]
So dust off your boots, let your voice shine
Sing it loud beneath the southern sky's design
Forget the heartache, leave the past behind
Just you, the open road, and a peace of mind
Let the twang ring true, tell a story bold
Of freedom found and futures to unfold
Yeah, dust off your boots, let your soul take flight
Turn the headlights on and kiss the town goodnight
[Outro]
(Instrumental outro featuring prominent pedal steel guitar and fading acoustic guitar strumming, mimicking the sound of a car driving away)
