I Trust My Feet

(album: To Dream Beneath The Scorpion - 2023)

I don't got no
Nicotine to calm the nerves
Drink to chase dessert
Or money from my father's hard work
I don't got no
Record deal or bank loan
Or someone with say so
To get my songs up on that radio
And I don't got no
Telephone to high places
Or a way to know what my fate is
Or someone to save me from the cold of the unknown
And I don't got no
Need for it, it's all good
I'll make the bricks and I'll chop wood
I don't make wishes
I take steps and I pay with sweat

'Cause all I got is
One set of lungs
And the friends I was young with
And the blood in my shoes from how far I've come
All I got is
This attitude I cut from
Every mess I come from
It's my pair of boots in the mud

Like in everything I do
I know somehow I'll see
Or somehow I'll find
A way to get where I need
No matter what door I choose
I'll make the key
I don't trust the climb
To make steps I can see

I trust my feet
I trust my
I trust my

I don't got no
Parachute that can break my fall
No map to tape to my wall
And no flare to shoot and no mayday I can call
And I don't got no
Fast lane to my sunset
Or a train ride under it
When the wolves come and the rain and thunder hit

All I got is
One set of lungs
And the friends I was young with
And the blood in my shoes from how far I've come
All I got is
This attitude I cut from
Every mess I come from
It's my pair of boots in the mud

Like in everything I do
I know somehow I'll see
Or somehow I'll find
A way to get where I need
No matter what door I choose
I'll make the key
I don't trust the climb
To make steps I can see

I trust my feet
I trust my
I trust my
I trust my feet
