[Verse 1]
A cup of coffee from a waitress I ain't ever met
She asked, "Are you just passing through"
I smiled and said, "I don't know yet"
I walked around the town square
Down the street to where
I met the preacher and the old courthouse man
Yeah, nothing helps you start again like

[Chorus]
Old boots, new dirt, no reminders
I've got a feeling this town will get me over her
You've been through what I've been through, man
Nothing feels better than old boots, new dirt

[Verse 2]
There's a thousand faces that I ain't seen before
The only history that I can see is from the Civil War
It's good for me to look around (look around)
Go down roads she ain't been down (ain't been down)
No memories of our used to be's set me free

[Chorus]
Old boots, new dirt, no reminders
I've got a feeling this town will get me over her
You've been through what I've been through, man
Nothing feels better than old boots, new dirt

Ooh, old boots, new dirt, one step closer
Yeah, I think I'm gonna like it here, yeah

You've been through what I've been through, man
Nothing feels better than
Nothing helps you start again like old boots (old boots), new dirt (new dirt)
Old boots (old boots), new dirt (new dirt)
Ooh, old boots and new dirt

After almost 15 years at the top of his format, reigning ACM “Artist of the Decade” Jason Aldean has seen trends come and go. Hell, he helped bring a few out of the shadows, like a Country-music Columbus making the mainstream’s first contact with hard rock (“Hicktown”), hip-hop (“Dirt Road Anthem”), and R&B (“Burnin’ It Down”). For 9, Aldean’s ninth studio project, he offers 16 interwoven tracks in an era of stand-alone singles and superstar EPs, holding his ground for a modern album with an old-school soul. A three-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Aldean’s a card-carrying member of the Country’s elite headliners whose incendiary tours are nearing legendary status. Also a dominant force on the charts, he’s scored 23 Number Ones and notably, all eight of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified Gold or Platinum by the RIAA. He’s the only Country act in history to top the all-genre Billboard 200 four times (in a row, no less), racking up four billion streams and more than 18 million albums sold along the way.
