God Too

[Verse 1]
You say it's all written in some old book
Like our names carved deep in a hanging tree
But I don't bow down to fate that easy
You ain't leavin' here unless it's over me
Dust on your boots, one hand on the handle
Talkin' 'bout mercy and lettin' go
But baby, I was raised in a harder chapel
Where you curse the dark and you steal back hope
[Chorus]
I'll fight every fuckin' demon, every enemy for you (yeah)
Kick down every cursed gate they drag us through
You say it's already written, that the end is comin' soon
But remember I'm a god too
I bend thunder to protect you
I'll fight for this love till my knuckles turn blue
P.S. I love you
[Verse 2]
They whisper my name like a backroad warning
"She don't quit, she don't scare, she don't run"
I've bled for less than this crooked promise
I'll bleed again if it keeps you from bein' gone
So let 'em line up with their holy verdicts
Let 'em point at the sky, say we're doomed to fall
I got fire in my veins and your heart in my jacket
Ain't a single damn star gonna choose for us at all
[Chorus]
I'll fight every fuckin' demon, every enemy for you
Drag 'em down to the river, make the water run true
You say it's already written, like the ink's too black to move
But remember I'm a god too
I rewrite what they said we'd lose
I'll fight for this love till my last breath's through
P.S. I love you
[Bridge]
If the heavens wanna take you
They better bring an army
If the script says I should break
I'll set the page on fire, honey (oh)
If the reaper comes a-callin'
Tell him he can stand in line
'Cause this wild, damned heart of mine
Ain't done with you this time
[Chorus]
I'll fight every fuckin' demon, every enemy for you
Tear down every cruel word they nailed us to
You say it's already written, but I swear it's not all true
'Cause remember I'm a god too
And my gospel is I choose you
I'll fight for this love 'til the whole sky turns new
P.S. I love you

country, Dark cinematic outlaw country with female vocals; low-tuned acoustic guitar and twangy baritone guitar over a slow, stomping kick and chain-shake percussion. Verses stay hushed and smoky, heavy reverb on a distant organ bed; chorus swells with distorted slide guitar, octave-doubled vocals, and thunder hits on key lines. Final chorus strips back to voice and guitar before a gritty full-band crash-out., female vocals
