Grand Prix Boots

[Verse 1]
You wore white boots
By the red gate line
Gold on the saddle
And the crowd went wild

He'd seen you win
Since the summer rain
At every meet
He knew your name

He'd clap the loudest
By the rail every time
Tie straight, green coat
And a steady kind eye

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the calls got quiet
Your phone went cold
And he heard the town
Say you'd let go

[Chorus]
He pulled you through
He pulled you through
When the dark got teeth
He pulled you through

He stayed right there
When you couldn't move
Hands on your heart
He pulled you through

[Verse 2]
Broken glass on Tuesday
Pills in the sink
Half full bottle
On the bathroom brink

You hid your shame
In a locked front room
Said you'd lost the sky
And the horse and you

He said, "Look at me"
Like a doctor can
"One breath at a time
We'll start again"

[Pre-Chorus]
He took the phone
He took the keys
Sat by the door
Till you could believe

[Chorus]
He pulled you through
He pulled you through
When the dark got teeth
He pulled you through

He stayed right there
When you couldn't move
Hands on your heart
He pulled you through

[Bridge]
Not a hero
Just a man who stayed
Took the night apart
Till the dawn could break

And you learned your name
Without the hurt
Step by step
Back into the dirt

[Final Chorus]
He pulled you through
He pulled you through
When the dark got teeth
He pulled you through

Now you ride again
With a shaking truth
Living on
'Cause he pulled you through

(He pulled you through)
(He pulled you through)
