“Boots in Both Worlds”
(inspired by Speaker Mike Schultz and Utah’s Future)

[Verse 1]
He was born where the corn meets the mountain wind,
Hooper roots, deep as the fence line bends.
Milkin’ cows at dawn, twelve years old,
With a dream in his heart and hands in the cold.
Sun-up to sun-down, he earned every callus,
From the barnyard dust to the statehouse palace.

[Chorus]
He’s got boots in both worlds, dirt and the dome,
From ridin’ herd to raisin’ votes back home.
Built his life with a hammer and a prayer,
Now he’s buildin’ schools with the same kind of care.
He ain’t forgot where he came from—he won’t let go,
He’s a rancher, a builder, a leader who knows—
That Utah runs on heart, and he’s fuelin’ the spark,
With boots in both worlds and a flame in the dark.

[Verse 2]
Started roofin’ houses just outta school,
Learned how to lead by breakin’ every rule.
Framed his future with a mentor’s hand,
Turned grit and grace into a lifelong plan.
Got a “wannabe cowboy” soul, but that ain’t fake,
He’s got daughters in the rodeo raisin’ the stakes.

[Chorus]
He’s got boots in both worlds, grit and a grin,
One in the field, one in the Capitol spin.
Talkin’ tech trades and the power grid light,
Fightin’ for kids and the welders at night.
He’s pushin’ bills with the same old drive
That once got him up for the 3 a.m. milkin’ life.

[Bridge]
Now he’s standin’ tall where the sagebrush sings,
Talkin’ nuclear power and higher ed things.
Sayin’ cut the waste, let the welders rise,
Give our kids a trade and stars in their eyes.
He ain’t just talk—he’s lived every line,
With a back that’s broke and a spirit that shines.

[Chorus]
Yeah, he’s got boots in both worlds, soul and steel,
From ridin’ the range to signin’ what’s real.
He’s settin’ the course for the Beehive State,
Makin’ sure no kid’s dream comes late.
He won’t forget the folks down that old farm track,
‘Cause a man like that never turns his back.

[Outro]
So here’s to Schultz and that Utah sky,
To the welders, the dreamers, the ones who try.
With a heart full of faith and a voice that’s heard,
He’s a cowboy, a speaker, a man of his word.
With boots in both worlds… and eyes on the herd.
