These Boots Don’t Run Nu Breed & Jesse Howard

[Hook]
(Walt Lamb)
The shackle on the wall's not a decoration
The sign on the fence ain't just for fun
This look on my face ain't discrimination
Cause any one of ya'll can come get some
Nothin comes easy but trouble round here
I've seen my fair share where I come from
Born and raised in my outlaw ways
So it's safe to say these boots don't run

(Jesse Howard)
We leave em all in the smoke clouds
Watch em fall, we live and die by the gun
And we ride through these small towns
Standing tall cause these boots don't run

[Verse 1: Nu Breed]
I was raised up to never run from sun up to sun down
When trouble come the fake dip
Like fake friends they don't stick around
I've been kicked around, left here to die
At the bottom still trying to touch the sky
Still trying to rise, never losing faith
I know I've did wrong and I've made mistakes
It was bad luck, can't catch a break
But I never gave up for heavens sake
Still stay strong through the heartache
The hard times and the heart breaks
I still smile when I get a chance
But it's not as often as I would like
See the tables turn when they think you win
But think again cause I'm lost inside
Still got my pride can't deny that
And true love you can't buy that
You about to guide me down on my last leg
But until the grave I'm a fight back
Cause everybody think it's a game for real
Never felt the pain that came from the field
Talking real life shit that you got to feel
You gotta live this shit, it'll give you chills
Talking memories that'll haunt your life
Misery and you don't want your life
So many folks that never taught you right
Had to learn the hard way and pay the price
But looking back there ain't no regrets
I sit back and smoke and never over stress
I don't worry about what they're talking bout
Cause I know my time ain't over yet
