Salt on My Boots (wersja 2)

Verse

Six a.m. and the porch light still glows

Last cup warm where the coffee flows

Suitcase half zipped on the bedframe floor

Screen door creaks like it wants some more

Salt dries slow along my collarbone

Radio flickers soft and low

Engine hums its good-bye song

Wipers sweep the morning's glow

Pre-Chorus

Every mile is a door I open wide

Something out there waiting on the other side

So what am I holding onto tonight

Tell me how it feels to let go, let go

Chorus

I'm leaving salt on my boots by choice tonight

Walking out into something I don't know yet

Heartbeat humming like a compass in flight

Keep walking till the sunset comes back set

I'm leaving salt on my boots for the road

Leaving heavy so I can hold onto hope

Verse 2

Packed up the picture of that porch swing too

Taped it to the dashboard with a rubber band or two

Every station fading soft into blue

Found a new one humming like it's singing just to me

Dust kicks up in silver lines down the lane

Same old road but this time I'm not afraid

Windshield dripping rain like it was trying to be mine

Nothing left that I need carried anymore

Pre-Chorus

Every mile is a door I open wide

Something out there waiting on the other side

So what am I holding onto tonight

Tell me how it feels to let go, let go

Chorus

I'm leaving salt on my boots by choice tonight

Walking out into something I don't know yet

Heartbeat humming like a compass in flight

Keep walking till the sunset comes back set

I'm leaving salt on my boots for the road

Leaving heavy so I can hold onto hope

Bridge

Maybe closure's just another name for gold

Salt crust on your skin, still warm and whole

Every goodbye was practice for this one

Nothing left to carry but the song that's begun

Chorus

I'm leaving salt on my boots by choice tonight

Walking out into something I don't know yet

Heartbeat humming like a compass in flight

Keep walking till the sunset comes back set

I'm leaving salt on my boots for the road

Leaving heavy so I can hold onto hope
