Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Reveille screaming at the crack of dawn
Wide awake before the coffee's on
Drill sergeant barking down the row
Every word sharper than a silver crow
[Pre-Chorus]
They break you down to build you up
Gitmo sun or Carolina mud
Left foot right foot one more plan
Earn the right to wear those tan
[Chorus]
Boots laced tight and your chin held high
Rain or dust you've got to try
They call your name you answer loud
Standing proud among the crowd
Boots in the morning boots at night
You'll never catch me losing this fight
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh make it through
Oh-oh-oh me and you
[Verse 2]
Sweat on steel and blisters on the heel
Longest mile you ever feel
Fold the flag the way they say
Pride in every single fray
[Pre-Chorus]
They take a boy and make a man
Hold the line and take the stand
One more day becomes a year
Strength I never knew was here
[Chorus]
Boots laced tight and your chin held high
Rain or dust you've got to try
They call your name you answer loud
Standing proud among the crowd
Boots in the morning boots at night
You'll never catch me losing this fight
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh make it through
Oh-oh-oh me and you
[Bridge]
When graduation finally rings
Smiling through the burn and sting
Every scar a story I can tell
Bless these boots I learned so well
[Chorus]
Boots laced tight and your chin held high
Rain or dust you've got to try
They call your name you answer loud
Standing proud among the crowd
Boots in the morning boots at night
You'll never catch me losing this fight
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh make it through
Oh-oh-oh me and you
Oh-oh-oh me and you
