The Man with No Boots - West Coast AI (Dark Southern Rock-Blues)

Подробнее о видео

“The Man with No Boots” is a dark Southern blues-rock tale about a mysterious barefoot wanderer whose presence brings death wherever he goes. He walks from town to town, never speaking of his past, while whispers of old legends and warnings follow in his wake. Some say he’s a preacher, others a curse—maybe even the devil himself. Every town he visits loses someone before sunrise, and no one who tries to stop him ever returns. With eerie slide guitar, haunting vocals, and a slow, hypnotic groove, the song builds an atmosphere of doom and folklore mystery, leaving the listener questioning whether he’s real, a ghost, or something far worse.

Lyrics:

Verse:
He don’t beg for food, don’t ask for shelter
Just hums an old hymn, walks like a specter
Dust in his wake, sky bruised and gray
Ain’t no man brave enough to ask his name
But the dogs all howl when he comes this way

Pre-Chorus:
“Ain’t no grave deep enough to hold him down”

Chorus:
The man with no boots walks slow
And the reaper walks behind
Every town he passes through
Someone don’t make it through the night
Wind howls his name, but he won’t reply

Verse:
An old man swears he saw him before
When his daddy died on the churchhouse floor
“The preacher prayed, but the devil heard—
Now every town loses one more
Boy, don’t stare, don’t open that door”

Pre-Chorus:
“The road don’t end where his footsteps go”

Chorus:
The man with no boots walks slow
And the reaper walks behind
Every town he passes through
Someone don’t make it through the night
Cold hands leave prints in the firelight

Bridge:
The sheriff swore he’d chase him down
Now there’s a hole where that man was found
Some say the dust just swallowed him whole
Some say he ran when the church bells tolled

Chorus:
The man with no boots walks slow
And the reaper walks behind
Every town he passes through
Someone don’t make it through the night
No priest, no saint, no gun can decide

Final Chorus:
The man with no boots walks slow
And the reaper walks behind
Footsteps fade into the dark
No one knows where he’ll arrive
But you’ll hear that hymn when it’s your time
