Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Sunlight hits the dusty floor Cleaning out the tack room door Found a boot from years before Worn down to the very core Stiffened leather, cracked and grey From a long forgotten day When the work was just a way To keep the winter winds at bay [Pre-Chorus] Deep inside the leather heel Something thin I had to feel Yellowed edge and jagged seal Makes the memory start to reel [Chorus] Nineteen fifty-two in June Underneath a silver moon We were gonna ride so soon Humming that old rodeo tune Grandpa said we’d make our name Chase the wild and find the fame But the season never came Life just played a different game [Post-Chorus] Just a ticket in the boot Deep down at the very root Of a dream that didn't shoot Now the point is nearly moot [Verse] He had hands like knotted pine Guided every move of mine Taught me how to hold the line Told me we would both be fine But the harvest ran too late Then the winter closed the gate We just left it up to fate Standing by the pasture plate [Pre-Chorus] I can see his weathered face Moving with a steady grace In this quiet, empty space Time is something I can't chase [Chorus] Nineteen fifty-two in June Underneath a silver moon We were gonna ride so soon Humming that old rodeo tune Grandpa said we’d make our name Chase the wild and find the fame But the season never came Life just played a different game [Bridge] Now I’m seventy and two Looking at this shade of blue Wishing I was there with you Doing what we meant to do But I’m thankful for the ride With the lessons by my side Nowhere left for me to hide In this swelling country tide [Verse] The ink is faded on the page Showing every bit of age Like a bird inside a cage Turned into a quiet sage I can almost hear the crowd Cheering long and cheering loud Making both our spirits proud Walking on a golden cloud [Chorus] Nineteen fifty-two in June Underneath a silver moon We were gonna ride so soon Humming that old rodeo tune Grandpa said we’d make our name Chase the wild and find the fame But the season never came Life just played a different game [Break] [Hook] It’s a faded piece of paper Turning into morning vapor Like a flickering candle taper In a world that’s grown much safer [Outro]
