Steel-Toed Boots

You can see the sky in a puddle of mud
Before disaster the animals run
Deep inside you can feel the sound
Hammer of the Gods pounding the ground
Flash blind like a deer staring down the brights
Of charging nature, too late for last rites
You hear the wind as he rushes by
Or maybe that’s the sound of the angry dogs' cry
Those boots, those boots, with the steel toes
With the cuts and the scars and the bloody holes
Those boots, those boots, laced up tight
and The mad dogs chasing him through the night
Three dogs and a pair of steel-toed boots
He’s from the pines by the ancient test site
Where the silos glow all hours of the night
Only 12 years young when his daddy did die
Learned early on a man must survive
Worked for his family by working for the man
The gun unloaded and the running began
So he runs on earth and he ran through hell
And he ran right through where those angry dogs dwell
Those boots, those boots, with the steel toes
With the cuts and the scars and the bloody holes
Those boots, those boots, laced up tight
and The mad dogs chasing him through the night
three dogs and a pair of steel-toed boots
Those boots, those boots, with the steel toes
With the cuts and the scars and the bloody holes
Those boots, those boots, laced up tight
and The mad dogs chasing him through the night
Those boots, those boots, with the steel toes
With the cuts and the scars and the bloody holes
Those boots, those boots, laced up tight
and The mad dogs chasing him through the night
three dogs and a pair of steel-toed boots
