Heavy Boots” (Key of G) [Verse 1]
G                           Em
He’s seventeen, but he feels worn down,

C                       G
Carrying troubles he don’t talk about.

G                              Em
Walks that schoolyard with his head hung low,

C                     D              G
A young man hurting where no one goes.
[Verse 2]
G                          Em
Mama says, “Son, you’re not alright,”

C                          G
He just nods and slips out of sight.

G                             Em
In his room, four walls closing in,

C                        D             G
He’s fighting battles he can’t seem to win.
[Chorus]
C               G
Heavy boots on a red dirt track,

D                         G
Trying hard but it all pulls back.

C               G
Nights get long, daylight’s thin,

Em                   D
He don’t know where he’s fitting in.

C              G
Just a teenage boy, carrying truth,

D                      G
Walking this world in heavy boots.
[Verse 3]
G                             Em
His mates are laughing, but he stays still,

C                           G
Heart is aching and his head ain’t healed.

G                            Em
Picks up a guitar when the night gets cold,

C                        D              G
Lets out a story he can’t be told.
[Chorus]
C               G
Heavy boots on a red dirt track,

D                         G
Trying hard but it all pulls back.

C                 G
Dreams feel far, and the fight feels near,

Em               D
He hides his pain so it won’t show here.

C              G
Just a teenage boy, carrying truth,

D                      G
Walking this world in heavy boots.
[Bridge]
Em              C
But the dawn will come, light breaks through,

G                D
And the boy might find a stronger view.

Em               C
One day he’ll stand, see the weight he’s beat,

G             D           G
And walk this road with lighter feet.
Final Chorus
C               G
Heavy boots on a red dirt track,

D                         G
But he knows one day he won’t look back.

C                 G
Hope’s still out there, waiting to prove,

Em                D
There’s life beyond them heavy boots.
[Outro]
C              G
Just a teenage boy, carrying truth,

D                      G
Walking this world in heavy boots.
