A recession driven song about change and new beginnings...

lyrics

Boots on the ground
Everybody is talking about
These Boots on the ground
I got problems again

What are you going to do?
When you can't make a decent wage
Where can you go, when you needed to be treated well?
Now I know a thing about working a job
When it comes to this dignity is dead!
Things got so bad that I couldn't see
I was a good man something happened to me

(Chorus)
These Boots on the Ground
Everybody is talking now
These Boots on the Ground
Look, I've got problems again

I got a call today from a boss who said
You can't be late, you can't again
Things got so bad I couldn't see
I was a good man - something happened to me, yeah

(Chorus)
Boots on the Ground
Everybody is talking now
These Boots on the Ground
I've got problems again, now
Boots on the Ground
Everybody is talking 'bout
These Boots on the Ground
Ahh, huh, yeah!

(Break)
If I had a dime for every time I tried to get rich
But for now I’ve got this caramel macchiato
With a lemon lime twist

(Refrain)
Boots on the Ground
Everybody is talking now
Boots on the Ground

Here we go again!

(Bridge)
Good things going to happen to you on the other side
I'm convinced
Good things going to happen to you on the other side
Bound to be better than this
Just reach out and say it's going to be different!
Alright

(Bridge II)
And It seems like all the time you plead with me
Mmm, They treat you so wrong, Mmm
If I hear one more belly-ache
I don't know what to do
Look! Things got a way of working out when you come around

Boots on the Ground
Everybody is talking now
These Boots on the Ground
I've got problems again

Boots on the Ground
Everybody is talking now
These Boots on the Ground
I've got problems again
