Honey on My Boots (Version 2)

Verse

Salt on the porch railing, sweat in my brow

Dirt on my heels from a morning I'd fought through

Barefoot out back where the sun first found me

Ripping off this coat that's been wrapped around me for years

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how long can a body hold all this up?

How long till it breaks, then rises again

Chorus

I'm lighting every corner of this place on fire

Watch the whole sky turn gold like it always did before

Every window that was dark is burning bright tonight

This is my freedom and I'm not letting go tonight

Honey on my boots, sunburnt in my eyes

This is how a woman rises when she's tired of surviving

I'm dancing with my shadow like it owes me nothing back

I'm walking out of every room that ever tried to hold me back

Verse

Broke the mirror over the door, let all those lies fall away

Started this year in a version I didn't know how to stay

Shackles on my ankles made of doubt and what-ifs

Ripped them off like they're nothing but old rags and rifle tips

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how long can a body hold all this up?

How long till it breaks, then rises again

Chorus

I'm lighting every corner of this place on fire

Watch the whole sky turn gold like it always did before

Every window that was dark is burning bright tonight

This is my freedom and I'm not letting go tonight

Honey on my boots, sunburnt in my eyes

This is how a woman rises when she's tired of surviving

I'm dancing with my shadow like it owes me nothing back

I'm walking out of every room that ever tried to hold me back

Bridge

Maybe I don't need the answers, maybe I just need this feeling

Maybe rising isn't about standing still but learning how to be real

Every scar on my palms is a door I wouldn't walk through again

This version of me is the one that finally wins

Chorus

I'm lighting every corner of this place on fire

Watch the whole sky turn gold like it always did before

Every window that was dark is burning bright tonight

This is my freedom and I'm not letting go tonight

Honey on my boots, sunburnt in my eyes

This is how a woman rises when she's tired of surviving

I'm dancing with my shadow like it owes me nothing back

I'm walking out of every room that ever tried to hold me back
