Lyrics:

"There's something in the leather of the boots left by my bed
There's stories in the soles, tales of heartache and revenge
They've walked these mountains, seen the world through a shallow lens
Though our times are changing they've held up nonetheless
Wishing we could head (up) another hill, before they're done for best

These the boots you wore when you laid her down to rest
What you had on as you tried to love again
Living isn't easy but you kept them marching on
That's something I'll remember now that I've got them on
It's hard to believe all these trails, that we've left behind

There's a little piece of you in all the things that make me
From the color of my hair to the shoes down on my feet
All the stories told and the burdens of your soul
They burn beneath my skin, and forever we live

There's something in the ink of these pictures that I keep
They've kept our ties alive, helped us through this troubled life
Though some are faded they will never lose their shine
Our blood runs thick together, faces coarse and often weathered
But I've seen this bond run from the colored to the grey

There's a little piece of you in all the things that make me
From the color of my hair to the shoes down on my feet
All the stories told and the burdens of your soul
They burn beneath my skin, and forever we live

Oh I've traveled long, spending time with an old soul living young
Your passions I carry, your words I will not bury,
With me they will always ring on
Cuz I've got my granddaddy's eyes
And from you I get my will to survive

There's a little piece of you in all the things that make me
From the color of my hair to the shoes down on my feet
All the stories told and the burdens of your soul
They burn beneath my skin, and forever you live"
