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

🎵
