Jon Pardi is sitting inside the Top 20 with his latest single, “Dirt On My Boots,” the follow-up to his No. 1 hit, “Head Over Boots.” The song takes him back to his younger self after working outdoors all day.
“I saw my 22 year old self getting off a tractor and going to take a shower and putting his work boots back on and going and hanging out with a girl and having a good time dancing or something,” says Jon. “And I really connected to the lyrics of it. It’s very country lyrics. It has tractors. It has cutting a rug. My favorite [line] — ‘I can get cleaned up, but I can only get so fancy,’ and I loved it.”
“Dirt on My Boots” is from his sophomore album, California Sunrise.
Jon will head out on Dierks Bentley’s What the Hell Tour, which kicks off January 19th in Dayton, Ohio.

“I saw my 22 year old self getting off a tractor and going to take a shower and putting his work boots back on and going and hanging out with a girl and having a good time dancing or something. And I really connected to the lyrics of it. It’s very country lyrics. It has tractors. It has cutting a rug. My favorite [line] — ‘I can get cleaned up, but I can only get so fancy,’ and I loved it. It was a great written country lyric, and I really think we made it more of a traditional feel with a modern flare to it, and I was really proud of that track.”
