Old Boots, New Dirt letra

A cup of coffee from a waitress I ain't ever met
She asked, "Are you just passing through"
I smiled and said, "I don't know yet"
I walked around the town square

Down the street to where
I met the preacher and the old courthouse man
Yeah, nothing helps you start again like

Old boots, new dirt, no reminders
I've got a feeling this town will get me over her
You've been through what I've been through, man
Nothing feels better than old boots, new dirt

There's a thousand faces that I ain't seen before
The only history that I can see is from the Civil War
It's good for me to look around (look around)
Go down roads she ain't been down (ain't been down)
No memories of our used to be's set me free

Old boots, new dirt, no reminders
I've got a feeling this town will get me over her
You've been through what I've been through, man
Nothing feels better than old boots, new dirt

Ooh, old boots, new dirt, one step closer
Yeah, I think I'm gonna like it here, yeah

You've been through what I've been through, man
Nothing feels better than
Nothing helps you start again like old boots (old boots), new dirt (new dirt)
Old boots (old boots), new dirt (new dirt)
Ooh, old boots and new dirt
