Prompt / Lyrics
--- 🎤 [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 🎵 ---
