[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

My upcoming mixtape is called "Other People's Music" because I'm just rhyming over other people's instrumentals. This is an RJD2 Instrumental from the record he did with L.A. OG Aceyalone called  "Magnificent City." This was originally a song called "disconnected" and I borrowed the beat to create a new song called "Punch a Hole" - Gratitude and respect to the original artists.
