Lyrics transcript
Reviewed lyrics for Boots in Black.
I walk in the mud With a bullet in
my coat My old name rotten like a note
nobody wrote Took one look west at that broken
gold sky Seen my own damn fear blinking back
in my eyes So I headed down the creek
where the dead reeds grow With a busted hand
and a grudge I could not let go Ain't
no easy road home Ain't no clean road back
I keep my boots in the black I keep
my boots in the black Oh, wasteland blues won't
leave me alone
Ain't no easy road home
More at school on a fire and a dented
pan A preacher sold prayers from a tin toy
can A girl at the trading post laughed for
one front tooth Said you look half dead but
you still got proof I said, proof of what?
She said, you still want Then she spun a
glass and made a one -eyed talk Ain't no
easy road home Ain't no clean road back I
keep my boots in the black I keep my
boots in the black Oh, wasteland blues won't leave
me alone Ain't no easy road home
My cellar got ghosts and a broken screen door
My hands got the shakes from the things I
saw But I patch up the hurt with a
wire and a prayer And I laugh when the
monsters start sniffing the air Cause the world done
me dirty, still I'm here Ain't no easy road
home, ain't no clean road back I keep my
boots in the black, I keep my boots in
the black Oh, wasteland blues won't leave me alone
Ain't no easy road home
