Back In My Boots
Journey Home: Rediscovering Roots in 'Back In My Boots' by Mason Horne
Lyrics
This old world's been spinnin' too fast
This old world's fast pace is disorienting and overwhelming.
It's like nothing could last
Nothing seems enduring; everything is fleeting.
It's here today and gone tomorrow
Life is unpredictable and short-lived.
Well I miss big green rolling fields
Expressing a longing for the tranquility of open fields.
And dirt caked on my wheels
Nostalgia for the simplicity associated with dirt-covered wheels.
Some slow me down in the time I borrowed
Reflecting on borrowed time and the need to slow down.
'Cause I've been gone too long
Feeling a prolonged absence and a desire to return.
Out here chasin' songs
Pursuing a musical career but feeling disconnected.
I'm on the road and on the edge
Living on the edge, possibly taking risks.
Can't get my mom outta my head
The persistent thought of his mother while away.
I'm gonna turn this truck around
A determination to reverse his current direction.
And go back to my hometown
Intention to return to his hometown.
Take highway nine
Selecting a specific route (Highway nine) for the journey.
Straight to the dirt where I left my roots
Heading back to the rural roots symbolized by dirt.
'Til I'm back in my boots
Expressing a desire to reconnect with his authentic self.
'Til I'm back in my boots
Reiterating the longing to return to a grounded state.
Crack a cold one with my friends
Sharing a desire for casual, carefree moments with friends.
Ride 'round creek until it ends
Enjoying the freedom of riding around the creek.
And feel the freedom on the air
Experiencing a sense of liberation in the open air.
'Cause I've been gone too long
Repeating the theme of prolonged absence and yearning.
Out here chasin' songs
Continuing the pursuit of a musical career despite challenges.
On the road and on the edge
Remaining on the road, possibly facing uncertainties.
Can't get my mom outta my head
The persistent thought of his mother persists.
I'm gonna turn this truck around
Reaffirming the decision to change direction and return home.
And go back to my hometown
Expressing the determination to revisit his roots.
Take highway nine
Selecting the route (Highway nine) as a path to rediscovery.
Straight to the dirt where I left my roots
Returning to the simplicity and authenticity of his origins.
'Til I'm back in my boots
Reiterating the desire to reconnect and find oneself.
'Til I'm back in my boots
Emphasizing the importance of returning to one's roots.
'Cause I've been gone too long
Repeating the theme of a prolonged absence and a search for meaning.
Out here chasin' songs
Continuing the journey, chasing dreams through music.
On the road and on the edge
Persisting on the road, facing challenges and uncertainties.
Can't get my momma outta my head
Repeating the connection with thoughts of his mother.
I'm gonna turn this truck around
A strong determination to change course and return home.
And go back to my hometown
Reaffirming the decision to embark on a journey back.
Take highway nine
Selecting the familiar route (Highway nine) for the return.
Straight to the dirt where I left my roots
Heading straight to the foundational roots symbolized by dirt.
'Til I'm back in my boots
Reiterating the aspiration to rediscover oneself and reconnect.
'Til I'm back in my boots
Emphasizing the importance of returning to one's authentic self.
