To keep slipping ’ through my hands? Painting' trails I can’t outrun In spurs and smoke and setting ’ suns I keep asking ’ where she goes But no one knows that rodeo ghost no one knows.............. (Verse 2) Found a poster in Saskatchewan Of a girl with fire in her eyes “Midnight Queen of Calgary” Riding’ dreams beneath the lights I send her songs she won’t reply to She just laughs inside the wind And when I swear I saw her smiling’ She was gone before the end (Revised Chorus) Is she lost or is it her plan? To keep slipping’ through my hands? Taking’ names and breaking’ reins Never staying’ long enough to explain I keep asking’ where she goes But no one knows that rodeo ghost— My Alpine......... (Final Verse) Some say she’s riding’ down in Tucson With a sky blue horse named “Crying’ Shame” But I swear I saw her near Montana Smiling’ when they called her name (Final Chorus) Is she lost or is it her plan? To write goodbye in desert sand? She’s the storm I still outride The dream I never left behind I keep asking ’ where she goes But no one knows that rodeo ghost— My Alpine… ..... yeah, my Alpine...................        http://nashwyatt.bandcamp.com

[Verse 1]
She walks like a wildfire through a summer drought
Heart full of thunder, mind full of doubt
Laughs like trouble, cries like rain
And love’s just a word she don’t entertain

[Pre-Chorus]
She’s a one-way road with a dead-end sign
Can’t pin her down, can’t make her mine

[Chorus]
She’s haywire and hollow, a storm with no name
Chasin’ the wind, never staying’ the same
Got a ghost in her mirror, fire in her veins
You hold her too tight, she’ll snap like a chain
Yeah, she’s wild, untamed, full of sorrow
She haywire and hollow

[Verse 2]
She wears black leather like it’s armor and skin
Got a past she won’t talk about buried within
Whiskey on her lips, smoke in her soul
Dancing’ with shadows she can’t control

[Pre-Chorus]
She’s got that stare that’ll freeze your flame
But she don’t believe love ain’t just a game

[Chorus]
She’s haywire and hollow, a storm with no name
Chasin’ the wind, never staying’ the same
Got a ghost in her mirror, fire in her veins
You hold her too tight, she’ll snap like a chain
Yeah, she’s wild, untamed, full of sorrow
She haywire and hollow

[Bridge]
Some say she’s broken, some say she’s brave
I say she’s beauty that no one can save
She rides like a whisper, she leaves like a gun
You’ll miss her forever, but she won’t miss one

[Final Chorus – bigger, louder]
She’s haywire and hollow, heartbreak in heels
Don’t care what’s fake, don’t care what’s real
Got scars like stories, tears she won’t show
A soul like the desert, too dry to grow
Yeah, she’s wild, untamed, hard to follow
She haywire and hollow

[Outro – quiet and haunting]
Yeah, haywire and hollow...
But I loved her so............................

She’s haywire and hollow /  coming to Spotify

[Verse 1]
Left a trail of dust behind me,
Middle of the night, just the moon to guide me
Her words still burn like a summer flame —
"You'll never outrun your name."
Dashboard cracked, tank half full,
Every mile feels powerful
This ain’t about where I’ve been,
It’s where I go when I’m free again

[Chorus]
I’m on the highway to Amarillo,
Where the pain fades and the dreams get real low
Tires hum like a worn-out prayer
Leaving all that I can't repair
Got a six-string riding shotgun,
And a past I can’t outrun
But I ain’t looking’ in no rearview mirror —
I'm chasing down the sun
On the highway to Amarillo

[Verse 2]
Stopped for gas in a nowhere town
Bartender said, “Boy, you look run-down.”
Told him, “Nah, I’m just letting go
Of a girl and a ghost I used to know.”
Took a sip, tipped my hat
Cranked that engine, didn’t look back
Every mile’s a piece of me
Breaking chains with gasoline

[Chorus]
I’m on the highway to Amarillo,
Where the nights burn and the heart turns still cold
Radio bleeding Tom Petty lines
I’ve been gone a hundred times
Got a bottle in the glovebox,
And a map I never read
I don’t need no destination —
Just a place to clear my head
On the highway to Amarillo

[Bridge]
Maybe she’s sleeping’ in that old bed
Or maybe she's found someone else instead
But I ain’t turning back, not this time
I got thunder rolling' down that dotted line

[Final Chorus]
I’m on the highway to Amarillo,
Where the sky opens up like a window
Every heartbreak's in my rearview now
And the wind knows how I howl
With a prayer and a rebel soul,
I’m chasing what I can’t control
Ain’t no telling what I’ll find —
But I’m leaving’ it all behind
On the highway to Amarillo

[Outro]
Yeah… leaving’ it all behind
On the highway to Amarillo...

Verse 1]
Down in the canyon where the shadows lie low,
Dust on my boots and a storm going to blow.
I don’t talk much, I just let 'me feel the shake,
That sound in the dark — I’m the rattlesnake.

[Verse 2]
Barroom whispers and outlaw names,
I’ve danced with danger, I’ve played that game.
Got a cross on my neck and fire in my wake,
Don't tread too close, I’m the rattlesnake.

[Chorus]
 I strike hard, I move mean,
Wrapped in leather with a deadly gleam.
Born of the wild, raised on the pain,
Sun-scorched soul.
If you're looking’ for trouble, make no mistake —
You’re staring’ down a rattlesnake.

[Verse 3]
She had eyes like the dusk, lips full of sin,
Tried to charm the cold blood under my skin.
But I don’t break, and I don’t bend,
I leave good love lying’ at the bitter end.

[Chorus]
 I strike hard, I move mean,
Wrapped in leather with a deadly gleam.
Born of the wild, raised on the pain,
Sun-scorched soul 
You think you’re tough? Let’s raise the stakes —
You’re dancing’ with a rattlesnake.

[Bridge]
Ain’t no leash, no backdoor deal,
Ain’t no preacher goanna make me kneel.
I roam free where the coyotes cry,
With a heart full of smoke and a desert sky.

[Final Chorus]
 I strike hard, I move fast,
You hear that rattle, you best not ask.
Trouble’s my blood, fate’s my game,
Hell’s my highway, fire’s my name.
Better walk light, for your own sake —
You’re messing’ with a rattlesnake.

[Outro – Spoken or sung low & slow]
Yeah…
One step closer, boy, and you'll feel the shake...
I ain't no man...
I'm the rattlesnake.

rattlesnake.

Verse 1]
Woke up in a motel, bottle on the floor dust on my window
Still wearing my ' boots  from the night before
Ashtray full and the sun’s burning’ mean
Another day caught in the same old scene

[Pre-Chorus]
I light a smoke, pour the rest in my cup
Whiskey says, “Boy, don't you ever give up”

[Chorus]
Dead end street and whiskey in my hand
There  no map, just the dust and the land
Every mile I drive just pulls me deep
Into the arms of things I can't keep
I got ghosts I drink, and dreams I cheat
Running' on fumes down a dead end street------------------

[Verse 2]
Met a woman once in Abilene
She said love don’t mix with gasoline
I said, “Baby, I’m the match and the flame”
She kissed me once, but she never took my name

[Pre-Chorus]
That bottle’s full of the words I don't say
And I talk to it most every day

[Chorus]
Dead end street and whiskey in my hand
There  no map, just the dust and the land----------------
Every mile I drive just pulls me deep
Into the arms of things I can't keep
I got ghosts I drink, and dreams I cheat
Running' on fumes down a dead end street--------------------------

[Bridge]
Whiskey don't judge and the road don't lie
But both’ll leave you alone when you cry
I got a past that won’t stay buried
And a soul too damn broke to carry

[Verse 3
Mama used to pray with tears in her eyes
Said I’d find God before I die
But I just find bars with neon sins
Where the jukebox plays the shape I’m in

[Final Chorus – Slow build to full power]
Dead end street and whiskey in my hand
There  no future in this broken man
Every wrong turn is on repeat
And the bottle’s the only truth I meet
I got ghosts I drink, and dreams I cheat
Still driving' blind down a dead end street

[Outro 
Yeah, I toast the dark with one more pour
Dead end street, can’t run no more
Whiskey’s warm, the night’s cold and deep
I lay my name down on this dead end street...--------------

dead-end-street

Dead end street

Verse 1
Like a storm rolling’ over the plains,
Laugh like lightning, driving’ me insane.
Eyes hold trouble and her lips hold fire—
She’s the kind of thrill you can’t retire.

Pre-Chorus
She’s danger wrapped in a midnight smile,
Here for a heartbeat, gone in a mile.

Chorus
She rides like thunder, wild and free,
Heart untamed like a midnight breeze.
She don't need nothing', but I still wonder,
If there's a place for me under
The sky she rides like thunder.

Verse 2
Took her hand out on I-95,
Her engine gave out, but her eyes were alive.
Said, "Boy, I don't break, I bend,
But love me wrong, I’ll ride again."

Pre-Chorus
She’s danger wrapped in a midnight smile,
Here for a heartbeat, gone in a mile.

Chorus
She rides like thunder, fierce and loud,
Soul on fire, too wild for the crowd.
She don’t stay long, but I still wonder,
If I could ever pull her under
This spell—she rides like thunder.

Bridge
Maybe one day she'll turn around,
Trade her saddle for a quieter town.
But if she don’t, I’ll still be proud,
To have danced with lightning in the clouds.

Final Chorus
She rides like thunder, fast and wild,
A rebel heart, freedom’s child.
She kissed me once, now I chase the hunger,
Of a girl who rides like thunder...
Yeah, she rides like thunder.

Outro
Still hear her boots on the hardwood floor,
Still feel that storm when she slammed the door...
She rides like thunder... and I wanted more

.

She rides like thunder,

Yeah, I know, darlin’, you’re tied to someone new
But tonight, you’re here with me
Though you’re miles away when the daylight breaks through
Tonight, you’re all mine to see


Way down by that red dirt road
We’ll let our midnight stories flow
Sip that whiskey slow ‘neath the pale moon glow


My honey, I know when the roosters crow
You’ll be gone, like the wind through the trees
But tonight, you’re here with me


Way down by the riverside
We’ll let that honky-tonk heart collide
One last slow dance ‘neath the silver sky

My honey, I know when the morning comes
You’ll be gone, but ‘til then, let it be
Cause tonight, you’re here with me
Just here with little old’ me    The sun’s going to chase this night away
And your trail will fade like smoke in the rain
But I’ll keep that spark, deep in my heart
Cause tonight… we burned like a runaway train

Tonight you belong to me

Verse 1
They say he rode in from the east,
With a .44 and a heart full of heat.
Boots kicked dust on the courthouse stone,
Never said much, just stood alone.
Folks whispered stories ‘bout where he’d been,
Out in the badlands, running with the wind.

Chorus
He’s a man named Copper John,
Sun goes down and he’s long gone.
Rust in his eyes, fire in his soul,
Living by a code only outlaws know.
Yeah, a man named Copper John,
Can’t be ,gone can’t be wrong,
When the thunder rolls, you’ll know he’s near,
The man named Copper John is here.

Verse 2
They say he once loved a raven-haired girl,
But the law took her far from his world.
Now he rides with the ghosts in the moonlight haze,
Chasing down justice in his own damn ways.
Silver star tried to bring him in,
But John just smiled that crooked grin.

Chorus
He’s a man named Copper John,
Sun goes down and he’s long gone.
Rust in his eyes, fire in his soul,
Living by a code only outlaws know.
Yeah, a man named Copper John,
Can’t be  ,gone   can’t be wrong,
When the thunder rolls, you’ll know he’s near,
The man named Copper John is here.

Bridge
Some say he’s a sinner, some call him a saint,
All I know is he don’t wear no paint.
Truth rides beside him, lies fall away,
When Copper John comes to town, you best pray.

Final Chorus
He’s a man named Copper John,
Sun goes down and he’s long gone.
Rust in his eyes, fire in his soul,
Living by a code only outlaws know.
Yeah, a man named Copper John,
Can’t be  gone  can’t be wrong,
If you hear the wind call your name at dawn,
You’ve met the man… Copper John.

man named Copper John,

Verse 1
Well, I pulled up in my old Chevy,
Radio loud and the gas tank heavy,
You were standing’ there with that sideways smile,
Made me want to hang ‘round a good long while.

Chorus
Connect to play, honey, plug into my heart,
We’ll light up this Friday like a neon bar.
Strum that love like a six-string dream,
Roll down the road where the headlights gleam.
You got the spark, girl, I got the flame,
Connect to play, honey — let’s crank this game.

Verse 2
We don’t need no Wi-Fi signal,
Just your hand in mine, it’s that simple,
Kicking’ up dust on a midnight road,
Every laugh we share is pure gold.

Bridge
Yeah, maybe we’ll break down under that moon,
I’ll grab my guitar, we’ll hum a tune.
Who needs a plan when you’ve got the sky?
The night’s a wild ride, let’s see it fly.

Final Chorus
Connect to play, honey, plug into my soul,
Let’s make every mile feel like rock ’n’ roll.
From a front porch swing to a backroad lane,
We’ll keep that rhythm running’ through our veins.
You got the spark, girl, I got the flame,
Connect to play, honey —
Yeah, let’s crank this game.

Connect to play, honey,

Verse 1
Well I wake up early, coffee in my hand
The sun creeps slow across this piece of land
Got more scars than I care to show
But they remind me where I’ve had to go

Chorus
I love my daughters, and they love me back
Even when I falter, even when I crack
Through the storms and trials, they keep me on track
I love my daughters, and they love me back

Verse 2
I’m not perfect, Lord knows I’ve tried
Carried some burdens, had to swallow my pride
But in their laughter I find my song
They’ve been the reason I keep rolling on

Chorus
I love my daughters, and they love me back
Even when I falter, even when I crack
Through the storms and trials, they keep me on track
I love my daughters, and they love me back

Bridge
Someday they’ll leave, spread their wings and fly
But I’ll be the shelter when the rain paints the sky
No matter the distance, no matter the years
They’ll always be the reason I fight through my fears

Final Chorus
I love my daughters, and they love me back
Even when I falter, even when I crack
Through the storms and trials, they keep me on track
I love my daughters, and they love me back

love my daughters, and they love me back

Verse 1
I’ve been running’ these backroads,
Dust on my boots, miles on my soul.
Every turn feels like the last one,
Chasin’ dreams I can’t hold.

Pre-Chorus
But when the night gets heavy,
And the stars won’t shine,
I hear that lonesome echo
Callin’ through the pines.

Chorus
River cry’s, rolling’ deep and wide,
Takin’ all my sorrow with the tide.
Carry me down where the wild winds die,
I’ll find my peace where the river cry’s.

Verse 2
Whiskey glass and a worn-out Bible,
Both of ’me know my name.
One forgives, one forgets,
But the water don’t play no games.

Pre-Chorus
And every stone I’ve stumbled,
Gets washed away in time.
The river keeps on singing’,
Like a prayer that ain’t mine.

Chorus
River cry’s, rolling’ deep and wide,
Takin’ all my sorrow with the tide.
Carry me down where the wild winds die,
I’ll find my peace where the river cry’s.

Bridge
Let it thunder, let it roar,
I am not running’ anymore.
If I go down, I’ll go free,
The river’s going to set me free.

Final Chorus (big & soaring)
River cry’s, rollin’ deep and wide,
Takin’ all my sorrow with the tide.
Carry me home to the other side,
I’ll find my peace where the river cry’s.




where the river cry’s

Verse 1]
I was born where the red clay bleeds,
Under small-town skies and hickory trees.
Mama’s Bible, Daddy’s work-worn hands,
Taught me how to pray, taught me how to stand.

[Pre-Chorus]
And every mile of gravel road,
Carries the weight of stories told.

[Chorus]
I was raised on holy dirt, boots in the dust,
Faith in my blood and steel in my trust.
Fire in my spirit, thunder in my word,
Yeah, I was raised on holy dirt.

[Verse 2]
Sunday mornings, church bells rang,
Friday nights the guitars sang.
Between the cross and a barroom fight,
I found my truth in the neon light.

[Pre-Chorus]
Some call it sin, some call it grace,
But it’s written all across my face.

[Chorus]
I was raised on holy dirt, boots in the dust,
Faith in my blood and steel in my trust.
Fire in my spirit, thunder in my word,
Yeah, I was raised on holy dirt.

[Bridge]
Every scar’s a hymn, every bruise a psalm,
This outlaw soul still leans on God.
A little rough around the edges, sure—
But my roots run deep in holy dirt.

[Final Chorus / Outro]
I was raised on holy dirt, wild and unbroken,
Every prayer I’ve said was truth unspoken.
From the cradle to the grave, one thing’s for sure—
I’ll die the same way I was born...
Raised on holy dirt.

raised on holy dirt

Verse 1
Got the sun rising’ up in my rearview mirror,
Dust on my boots and the road runs clear.
Radio’s singing’ some old worn tune,
Chasin’ down freedom by the light of the moon.

Pre-Chorus
Every mile I drive, I’m leaving’ chains behind,
This open sky’s the only thing on my mind.

Chorus
Rollin’ on the Hallelujah Highway,
Windows down and the world feels right, hey—
Thunder in my soul, fire in my veins,
Praise be the blacktop calling’ my name.
Hallelujah Highway, take me home tonight.

Verse 2
Gas station coffee and a worn-out smile,
Talked to an angel at the pump for a while.
She said, “Son, keep driving’, don’t you ever slow down,
The road’s your church and your faith is this ground.”

Pre-Chorus
Every curve I take, I feel the Spirit rise,
Redemption’s waiting’ where the horizon lies.

Chorus
Rollin’ on the Hallelujah Highway,
Windows down and the world feels right, hey—
Thunder in my soul, fire in my veins,
Praise be the blacktop calling’ my name.
Hallelujah Highway, take me home tonight.

Bridge
These wheels are my prayer, this engine’s my hymn,
The stars overhead singing’ Amen again.
No map, no fear, just a road that is true,
Every line I cross, Lord, I’m closer to You.

Chorus (Repeat & Build)
Rollin’ on the Hallelujah Highway,
Windows down and the world feels right, hey—
Thunder in my soul, fire in my veins,
Praise be the blacktop calling’ my name.
Hallelujah Highway, take me home tonight.

Hallelujah Highway,

Verse 1
I’ve been chasing every backroad,
Where the night meets the pine.
Got a tank full of questions,
And a bottle half of time.
Every mile marker’s fading,
Like a ghost in the rain,
But your voice keeps on calling,
Pulling me home again.

Chorus
Heaven don’t need a map,
It’s a straight shot through the dark.
Just follow that compass
That beats inside your heart.
When the road feels lost and broken,
And you’re praying’ for a sign,
Heaven don’t need a map—
It’s been here all the time.

Verse 2
I’ve seen neon in the distance,
And angels in a song,
Found redemption in the silence,
Where the wild runs strong.
Every detour, every heartbreak,
Led me closer to you,
Now I know the destination
Ain’t a place, it’s the truth.

Chorus
Heaven don’t need a map,
It’s a straight shot through the dark.
Just follow that compass
That beats inside your heart.
When the road feels lost and broken,
And you’re praying’ for a sign,
Heaven don’t need a map—
It’s been here all the time.

Bridge
Some say it’s up above,
But I found it in your love.
Not in lines on a paper,
But in stars hanging’ over us.

Chorus (repeat, bigger)
Heaven don’t need a map,
It’s a straight shot through the dark.
Just follow that compass
That beats inside your heart.
When the road feels lost and broken,
And you’re praying’ for a sign,
Heaven don’t need a map—
It’s been here all the time.

Outro
Yeah, Heaven don’t need a map…
Causa I found it when I found you...............................................

Heaven don’t need a map…

Verse 1
Dirt road sermons, rusted-out signs
Sunday best with a jug of moonshine
Preacher’s voice carried over them fields
But the shotgun shells told the truth concealed

Chorus
There’s blood on the Bible Belt, sweat on the steeple
Prayers don’t hide the sins of the people
Crosses burn, and the devil won’t melt
Living with blood on the Bible Belt

Verse 2
Whiskey-stained hymns, secrets in the dark
Hallelujahs shouted with a poisoned heart
Mama cried mercy, Daddy raised hell
The stories we tell ain’t the ones we sell

Chorus
There’s blood on the Bible Belt, tears in the clay
Songs of salvation fading away
Preachers can preach, but the truth still dwells
Deep in the blood on the Bible Belt

Bridge
Midnight thunder, revival fire
Voices lifted higher and higher
But the cracks in the walls, they start to show
Every seed you plant is bound to grow

Chorus (repeat, bigger)
There’s blood on the Bible Belt, sweat on the steeple
Prayers don’t hide the sins of the people
Crosses burn, and the devil won’t melt
Living with blood on the Bible Belt

Outro
Oh, the stories we tell,
Still dripping blood on the Bible Belt…

blood on the Bible Belt

Verse 1
Started out on a backroad, six strings in the dust,
Playing bars for a tip jar, chasing dreams I trust.
Radio don’t play me, but the people always cheer,
I’m the voice you never heard, but I’m standing right here.

Chorus
I’m the underrated artist of the year,
Singing songs you feel but never hear.
From the dive bars to the county fair,
I pour my soul out everywhere.
Yeah, I’m still fighting, loud and clear,
Underrated artist of the year.

Verse 2
Got stories in my pocket, and a fire in my veins,
Every heartbreak, every highway, runs through my name.
Ain’t no silver spotlight, ain’t no velvet stage,
But I’ll burn this old six-string like it’s breaking out a cage.

Chorus
I’m the underrated artist of the year,
Singing songs you feel but never hear.
From the dive bars to the county fair,
I pour my soul out everywhere.
Yeah, I’m still fighting, loud and clear,
Underrated artist of the year.

Bridge
One day they’ll know the truth in these lines,
It ain’t about fame, it’s about the grind.
If you’ve been overlooked, raise your beer,
This one’s for the dreamers who never disappear.

Final Chorus
We’re the underrated artists of the year,
Singing songs the world was meant to hear.
From the neon nights to the midnight air,
We’ll keep on playing, Cause we care.
Yeah, we’re still fighting, loud and clear,
Underrated artists of the year.

Outro
Just a name on a poster, but the fire’s still here…
Underrated artist of the year.

vocals/lyrics Nash Wyatt   Verse 1
Neon signs are burning’, boots are on the floor,
Old guitars are crying’, like they’ve done before.
Every laugh and story, hanging’ in the air,
If you’re looking’ for a good time, you know you’ll find it there.

Chorus
Down at The Pour House, the whiskey runs deep,
The jukebox is singing’, the nights don’t sleep.
Raise your glass, let the good times roll,
At The Pour House, it’s a home for the soul.

Verse 2
Bartender knows your name, slides a drink your way,
Cowboys, dreamers, drifters — all got dues to pay.
But the music keeps us moving’, the night just won’t quit,
Every broken heart finds a place to fit.

Chorus
Down at The Pour House, the whiskey runs deep,
The jukebox is singing’, the nights don’t sleep.
Raise your glass, let the good times roll,
At The Pour House, it’s a home for the soul.

Bridge
From the first cold beer to the last call light,
We’re all one big family every Friday night.
Let the guitars scream and the drums beat loud,
The Pour House is where we lose the crowd.

Final Chorus
Down at The Pour House, the whiskey runs deep,
The jukebox is singing’, the nights don’t sleep.
Raise your glass, let the good times roll,
At The Pour House, yeah it’s good for the soul.

The Pour House

[Verse 1]
The night is quiet, the stars are low
Whiskey’s gone, but I still don’t know
Why the wind keeps whispering’ your name
Every road I take feels the same
I tried leaving’, I tried to stay
But my heart won’t bend, it won’t break away
  Daddy, Your shadow lingers
Even when the world keeps moving’ on
I’m still here,
[Verse 2]
Your photograph on the windowsill
It’s been years but it burns me still
Time don’t heal, it just slows the pain
Every drop of rain calls your name
 I keep driving’ down you're  drive way                                                                           Chasin’ stories  of what we used to know
The rear view’s clear but the past is strong
And I can’t stop holding’ on
Final Chorus – soft, drawn out]
Maybe someday I’ll let go
Find a way to lose the hold
But tonight this heart of mine
Won’t say goodbye
I’m holding’ on, though the fire’s near gone
Like a faded light before the dawn
Even when the world keeps moving’ on
I’m still here… holding’ on

holding’ on

[Verse 1]
The sun don’t rush the morning, it just climbs a little high
The river keeps on rolling’, like the years in my life
I spent too long chasing something I couldn’t hold
But love’s in the quiet, in the stories we’ve told

[Chorus]
I appreciate the little things
The way your hand fits mine, the way the front porch sings
Every laugh, every tear, every wide-open sky
I don’t need the world if I’ve got you by my side
Yeah, I appreciate… what I used to let slide

[Verse 2]
The old truck still runs easy, though it creaks on every turn
Like a lesson learned the hard way, some roads you’ve got to burn
I used to count the miles, now I count the days
With you here beside me, I’ve found my place

[Chorus]
I appreciate the little things
The smell of coffee strong, the sound the night owl brings
Every kiss, every mile, every slow-falling star
I don’t need to go fast to know where we are
Yeah, I appreciate… just how lucky we are

[Bridge]
Time moves slow when the heart takes root
Every moment’s a song when it’s played with you
No need for more, no need for less
Right here’s the best of the best

[Final Chorus/Outro]
I appreciate the little things
The love we built, the peace it brings
Every sunrise, every sunset glow
I’ve got all I need, and I want you to know
Yeah, I appreciate… I appreciate you so

appreciate

Verse 
I was raised on dust and diesel,
Sunday drives and faded steel.
Papa said life’s a gamble,
You take the wheel, make the deal.
The road was quiet, heart was loud,
Dreams in the rearview, chasing clouds.

[Chorus 

Race  car deals, I’m burning out,
Pedal down, no fear, no doubt.
Trading time for a wilder ride,
Lightning strikes on the midnight side.
Race  car deals—
I’m all in, ...

[Verse 2
Momma warned about the fast lane,
But slow roads drove me insane.
Every turn’s a chance to lose,
But I was born to break the rules.
A quiet heart, a restless hand,
I made my peace with the promised land.

[Chorus 
Race  car deals, I’m burning out,
Pedal down, no fear, no doubt.
Trading time for a wilder ride,
Lightning strikes on the midnight side.
Race car deals—
I’m all in,.....
[Bridge
 
Slow night sky, engine screams,
Fast love, gasoline dreams.
I’ll trade the past for the next mile,
Every risk makes it worth the smile.

[Final Chorus
Race car deals, I’m burning out,
Pedal down, no fear, no doubt.
Trading time for a wilder ride,
Lightning strikes on the midnight side.
Race car deals—
No brakes, just life.

Race car deals

Verse 1 (Soft & Moody)

Dust on my boots, streetlight glow
A shadow of a town I used to know
Rust in the chain where you tied me down
Heartbeat echoes of a runaway sound

Pre-Chorus (Building)

Every mile whispers, “boy, don’t stay”
But the leash still pulls where the concrete frays

Chorus (Hard Rock Explosion)

I’m a rusty leash, concrete runaway
Tearing out the roots you tried to lay
Steel can’t hold a soul like mine
Breaking every link one howl at a time
Yeah, I’m a rusty leash, concrete runaway

Verse 2 (Soft & Cinematic)

Cold wind sings through a busted sign
Memories burn like cheap red wine
You built a cage from your silver lies
But a heart like mine don’t apologize

Bridge (Half-Time Grind → Solo)

Let the engines roar, let the blacktop scream
Freedom’s the fever in a broken dream
Guitar solo – wash & slide, trading licks)

Final Chorus (Even Harder)

I’m a rusty leash, concrete runaway
No chain left to drag, no debt to pay
World can bite, but I won’t stay
I’m gone—hell, I was gone yesterday

Outro (Back to Soft)

(Acoustic fade, last line whispered)
Dust on my boots… and a runaway heart.

rusty leash, concrete runaway

  Verse 1 – Soft & Slow
I met her where the neon fades to dark,
Whiskey eyes and a wildfire heart.
She talks in riddles, wears her scars like a crown,
A quiet storm that’ll shake this town.

[Pre-Chorus – Build]
You’d never know by the way she smiles,
There’s a hurricane behind those miles.

[Chorus – Hard Rock Explosion]
(Big electric guitars, crashing drums)
She’s inside out, she’s upside down,
A wildfire burning’ through this town.
Sweet as honey, sharp as a knife,
She’ll love you wrong, she’ll love you right.
Yeah, she’s inside out…
And I can’t turn her around.

[Verse 2 – Soft Again]
(Back to acoustic, maybe a soft organ pad)
She wears my jacket when the night gets cold,
But her secrets cut like solid gold.
Every kiss feels like a dare,
I lose myself Cause I don’t care.

[Pre-Chorus – Build]
The closer I get, the more I fall,
I can’t stop even when she calls.

[Chorus – Hard Rock Explosion]
She’s inside out, she’s upside down,
A wildfire burning’ through this town.
Sweet as honey, sharp as a knife,
She’ll love you wrong, she’ll love you right.
Yeah, she’s inside out…
And I can’t turn her around.

[Bridge – Tension / Guitar Solo]

I know she’s trouble, but I can’t let go,
She’s the only truth I’ll ever know.

[Final Chorus – Even Harder]
She’s inside out, she’s upside down,
A wildfire burning’ through this town.
Sweet as honey, sharp as a knife,
She’ll love you wrong, she’ll love you right.
Yeah, she’s inside out…
And I can’t turn her around.

(Let the last chord ring, feedback fades…

She’s inside out, she’s upside down,

Oh-   Oh-   Oh-  Oh-    I  found it in the attic, dust thick as a storm
A little piece of history where my granddad kept it warm
The smell of old tobacco, faded paper bands
A time machine of memories sitting’ in my hands
Every scar tells a story, every scratch is a mile
I can hear his laughter, I can see that crooked smile

The old cigar box still sings like a freight-train heart
Keeps the ghosts of the past from falling’ apart
Ash and oak, smoke and song, it’s all I’ve got
When the world burns down, I hold that old cigar box
Inside a silver  box  a  red   lighter,  photo black and gray
A letter from my mama on his wedding day
A bullet from the backwoods, a lucky silver dime
The kind of little treasures you don’t see in modern times

It ain’t worth a dollar, but it’s rich as the land
Every note of history is played by his hand Oh-Oh-Oh-----
The old cigar box still sings like a freight-train heart
Keeps the ghosts of the past from falling’ apart
Ash and oak, smoke and song, it’s all I’ve got
When the world burns down, I hold that old cigar box
I don’t need diamonds, I don’t need gold
Give me a story that’ll never grow old
Harmonica   cries  , electric wails
Love lives on through a wooden shell

(Final Chorus)
The old cigar box still sings like a freight-train heart
Keeps the ghosts of the past from falling’ apart
Ash and oak, smoke and song, it’s all I’ve got
When the world burns down, I hold that old cigar box
Yeah, when the lights go dark, I hold that old cigar box  Oh--Oh-Oh-------------

The old cigar box

Verse 1]
Well the moon was hanging’ low on a bayou night,
Catfish jumping’ in the pale blue light.
Old   Mike  said, “Boy, don’t wade too deep—
That gator’s out there, and he don’t sleep.”
I took one step, heard a splash so mean,
Saw a tail like a whip cutting’ through that green.

[Chorus]
Who tossed the gator, who set him free?
Was it the river, was it you, was it me?
Somebody’s laughing’ in the cypress shade,
Watching’ that monster roll through the wave.
Who tossed the gator, tell me right now—
I’m standing’ my ground but I don’t know how.

[Verse 2]
Mama said, “Boy, don’t you chase that thrill,
The swamp’s got a hunger and it always will.”*
But a bottle of whiskey and a dare from a friend
Can turn a smart man dumb in the thick of the wind.
We were throwing’ stones, just joking’ around,
Then the water boiled up with a thundering’ sound.

[Chorus]
Who tossed the gator, who set him free?
Was it the river, was it you, was it me?
Somebody’s laughing’ in the cypress shade,
Watching’ that monster roll through the wave.
Who tossed the gator, Lord I got to know—
Before he drags me down below.

[Bridge] (Breakdown with slide guitar & harmonica)
Maybe it was fate, maybe it was fear,
Maybe old’ Gator Mike  whispered in my ear.
Some secrets swim where the wild things roam,
Some trouble finds you when you’re far from home.

[Chorus – Big Finish]
Who tossed the gator, who set him free?
Was it the river, was it you, was it me?
Somebody’s laughing’ in the cypress shade,
Watching’ that monster roll through the wave.
Who tossed the gator, shout it out loud—
I’m running’ through the dark with a ragged crowd.

[Outro]
The swamp keeps quiet, but the truth don’t fade,
That gator’s still Rollin’ where the deal was made.
Who tossed the gator? I swear I’ll find—
The one who left that beast behind.   oh-oh-oh-oh-------

Who tossed the gator,
