lyrics

Boots on the Asphalt
Words and music by Jesse Brooks

I broke down in Manchac
On the Fourth of July
So I pulled off that high rise
And I hung my head and cried

In a moment of silence
standing in the summer heat
I let my boots hit the asphalt
And felt the weight on my feet

Chorus:
Then I laughed knowing I was helpless
The metaphor of a steering wheel that just won’t turn

As my boots hit the asphalt
Under the Louisiana sky
I learned that life will take control
Under i-55

Then I heard you were leaving
I stopped by one last time
We talked just like the old days
It seemed that everything was fine

But I knew the ride was over
Your time had arrived
And my boots hit the asphalt
After I said my last goodbye
