Six Shooter & A Silver Ring

Verse 1)

Dust on my boots, sun burnin’ low

Ridin’ that trail where the wild winds blow

Got a past full of trouble, name carved in lead

Every town I pass, they whisper what I said

Sheriff don’t like me, outlaws do

I walk that line like a man half through

Got a six-shooter singin’ on my right-hand side

And a whole lotta miles I’ve been tryin’ to outride

(Pre-Chorus)

But the nights get cold when the fire burns out

And even a drifter feels that doubt

(Chorus)

I was a lone star ridin’, chasin’ the sun

Livin’ by the bullet, always on the run

Then you walked in, turned my world around

Now I’m thinkin’ ‘bout roots instead of leavin’ town

From a six-shooter life to a front porch swing

Trade my wild ways for a silver ring

⸻

(Verse 2)

Met you in a town called nowhere fast

Didn’t think twice, didn’t think it’d last

You had eyes like the desert after rain

Calm in the storm, peace in my pain

You saw through the scars, the fights, the lies

Didn’t flinch at the fire in my eyes

Said “Every outlaw’s got a place to land”

Then you reached out slow and took my hand

(Pre-Chorus)

And for the first time I laid my guard down

Didn’t feel lost in a one-horse town

(Chorus)

I was a lone star ridin’, chasin’ the sun

Livin’ by the bullet, always on the run

Then you walked in, turned my world around

Now I’m thinkin’ ‘bout roots instead of leavin’ town

From a six-shooter life to a front porch swing

Trade my wild ways for a silver ring

⸻

(Bridge)

Hung my hat on a nail by the door

Ain’t hear that gunfight call no more

Your laugh’s sweeter than whiskey burn

Guess even a drifter’s got a place to turn

⸻

(Final Chorus)

I was a lone star ridin’, chasin’ the sun

Now I wake up smilin’ ‘fore the day’s begun

No more runnin’, no more lookin’ back

Found my peace on a quiet dirt track

From a gunslinger’s road to a simple thing

Your hand in mine and a silver ring

⸻

(Outro)

Dust still blows, but I don’t roam

‘Cause a wild west heart finally found a home
