Outlaw's Last Stand

[Intro: Gritty electric guitar riff, steady train-beat drums kick in]

[Verse 1]
Once I rode the wild roads
Once I chased the sun
But now the shadows linger
And the battles weigh a ton

[Chorus]
THAT’S WHEN I RAISE MY BOTTLE!
THAT’S WHEN THE PAST COMES BACK TO STAY!
These sorry eyes don’t beg—they just watch another day burn away

[Verse 2]
The neon sign flickers
On a name I used to know
My boots track dust and whiskey
Where the good times used to go

[Chorus]
THAT’S WHEN I RAISE MY BOTTLE!
THAT’S WHEN THE PAST COMES BACK TO STAY!
These sorry eyes don’t beg—they just watch another day burn away

[Inst: Raw Telecaster solo over driving train beat, slight amp grit]

[Bridge]
You can call it ruin
Call it sin or shame
But I wore this coat of silence
Long before you knew my name

[Guitar Solo: Aggressive bends and gritty sustain, drums lock tight]

[Chorus]
THAT’S WHEN I RAISE MY BOTTLE!
THAT’S WHEN THE PAST COMES BACK TO STAY!
These sorry eyes don’t beg—they just watch another day burn away

[Outro: Drums fade slowly, guitar plays final unresolved riff, amp hum lingers]
Sorry eyes...
Yeah... still lookin’...

Outlaw Country, gritty electric guitar, steady train-beat drums, soulful tone, defiant, authentic, moderate groove, rough-edged male vocals, raw production
