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
