[Verse 1]
Stood by the river with gravel in my hand
Shirt half untucked and torn
Watched the water carving up the land
Thinking of places I was born

[Pre-Chorus]
Crickets start their backwards song
Dust settles before too long

[Chorus]
Rolling down the dusty slope
With the heavy boots I own
Got a mind with wheels of smoke
And a stone for every bone

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey

[Verse 2]
Yesterday’s king got lost in the grass
He’s tracing his name in the mud
Rusty old metal and cracked-looking glass
Silver and ash in my blood

[Pre-Chorus]
Time won’t bend in this morning sun
Shadow talk, falling undone

[Chorus]
Rolling down the dusty slope
With the heavy boots I own
Got a mind with wheels of smoke
And a stone for every bone

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey

[Bridge]
Barbed wire fences leaning in rows
Cow skulls sunk in the sand
All the wild horses nobody knows
Still run this twisted land

[Chorus]
Rolling down the dusty slope
With the heavy boots I own
Got a mind with wheels of smoke
And a stone for every bone

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey

[Outro]
Sun drops low, copper and red
Broken tracks lead me home
Boot prints fade where I once tread
Leaving dust for the dawn
Oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey
