Discover the story of the song > These Boots – Eric Church

The protagonist is singing about his boots and all the experiences he's had while wearing them: playing music in small venues, facing intimidating people, doing drugs, and even dancing with danger. He also mentions all the mistakes he's made and how his boots have taken him down some bad roads, but the worst thing they ever did was walk out on his partner. He wishes they could kick down the door and make it right, but they just turn around and leave.
