  • A cup of coffee from a waitress I ain't ever met
    She asked, "Are you just passing through?"
    I smile 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
    When you've been through what I've been through, man
    Nothing feels better than old boots, new dirt

    There's a thousand faces, I ain't seen before
    The only history that I can see is from a civil war
    It's good for me to look around (look around)
    And 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
    When 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

    When you've been through what I've been through, man
    Nothing feels better than
    Nothing else is gonna give like old boots (old boots), new dirt (new dirt)
    Old boots (old boots), new dirt (new dirt)
    Ooh, old boots and new dirt Writer/s: Lee Miller, Neil Thrasher, Tom C. Shapiro
