lyrics

Boots Caked in Mud

Should I close my eyes
Let my tears fall down upon the ground
Oh should I close my eyes
Watch my blood pool down in the soil
Oh should I close my eyes
Taste the sweat before it drips into the soil

And will my boots be caked in mud
For what I've given up
Cast away this heavy coat it don't suit me no more

Should I close my eyes
And wade out waist-deep into the river
And should I close my eyes
Feel the rain beat down upon my shoulders
Oh should I close my eyes

Will my boots will be caked in mud
And will we make it through the flood
Break free from this gilded cage it can't hold me
No more

Should I close my eyes
And let my tears fall down upon the ground
Oh should I close my eyes

With all that I have lost
Will my boots be caked in mud
Delivery me from misery it can’t hurt me
No more
