My Boots Still Hit the Ground

Smoke on the horizon, world split open wide, Last town on the highway lookin' half-alive. Screens preach fire like the Book of Revelation, But I’ve walked through hell without a destination. Boots in the ashes where the lost don’t speak, Hope buried shallow from a long, hard week. Good men fall tryin' to feed their young, While prophets shout lies with a silver tongue.

But even as the sky turns black, And thunder shakes this broken land… I keep movin’ through the fire— I was born to make a stand.

And my boots still hit this ground, When the whole damn world breaks down. If the heavens crack and the storms rain down, I won’t be the one who’s ever found drowned. Long as fire keeps my heartbeat loud— My boots still hit this ground. Yeah, my boots still hit this ground.

Highways look like graveyards stretching night to night, Billboards burned out like they lost the will to fight. Some die for borders marked by ancient kings, Some bleed for flags tied on invisible strings. Leaders stand tall on their rusted thrones, Speaking like gods while they break our homes. Families fade under a storm that never ends, Prayin' for mercy where the sky won’t bend.

And though the fire circles in, And shadows drag across this town… I walk on through the rising smoke— The storm won’t take me down.

Yeah, my boots still hit this ground, When the whole damn world breaks down. When angels fall and demons crowd, When truth gets lost beneath the sound— I walk on with a rebel’s vow: My boots still hit this ground. My boots still hit this ground.

If the world must end, then let it end in flame— But I’ll keep walkin’ till the sky remembers my name. If the four horsemen ride, let ’em ride on by— I’ve outwalked death under blood-red skies. And if judgment falls with a roaring sound… I’ll still be here, boots on the ground.

’Cause my boots still hit this ground, Even when the stars fall down. World may tremble, kingdoms drown— But I rise each time I hear that sound. If the end comes tryin’ to hunt me down, It’ll face me standin’ proud— ’Cause my boots still hit this ground. Yeah, my boots still hit this ground.

“If the world ends tonight… it ends with me still walkin’.”
