Outlaw Lullaby

---

🎤 [Intro – 4 Bars, soft humming / fingerpicked guitar]

🎵
Mmm…
This ain’t for peace, this ain’t for sleep…
It’s just the only thing that still holds me…
Outlaw lullaby, singin’ low for me
🎵

🎤 [Verse 1 – 8 Bars, soft & broken vocal delivery]

🎵
I don’t count sheep, I just count scars
Tracein’ each one like old prison bars
Used to dream wide under moonlit skies
Now I drift off in the sound of lies
They call me outlaw for the things I’ve done
But I only ran when I lost someone
The night don’t judge, and the stars don’t cry
So I sing to the dark with this outlaw lullaby
🎵

🎤 [Chorus – 8 Bars, haunting & melodic]

🎵
This outlaw lullaby ain’t made for sleep
It’s for the hearts that sink too deep
For the ones who ride with ghosts in mind
And bury tears where no one finds
If you ever feel too gone to try
Let this melody hold you tight
No “goodnight” or sweet “bye-bye”
Just pain wrapped in this outlaw lullaby
🎵

🎤 [Verse 2 – 8 Bars, deeper melody, harmonies optional]

🎵
She said “don’t break if you don’t bend”
But I shattered slow like a southern wind
Left my boots by the door, faith on the floor
Now I sleep with regret and nothin’ more
A .45 dream and a Bible verse
Both got dust and a little bit worse
I hum this tune ‘cause I can’t ask why
So I drift away on this outlaw lullaby
🎵

🎤 [Bridge – 4 Bars, falsetto or high harmony]

🎵
If you’re listenin’ through the static air
Know I sang this for those who care
Even the lost need songs at night
To remember pain still got a right
🎵


---

🎤 [Final Chorus – 8 Bars, stripped back, raw emotion]

🎵
This outlaw lullaby don’t promise dreams
It just soothes what silence screams
It don’t fix much, don’t wipe no tears
But it stays when the world disappears
For every rider who can’t say why
For the ones still searchin’ the sky
If you feel that ache like I do tonight…
Just press play on this outlaw lullaby
🎵
