[Verse 1]
Dusty boots on the porch, creak of the floor
Whiskey in my veins, can't feel no more
Sun dips low, shadows stretch wide
Past chasing fast, nowhere to hide
[Chorus]
At the barrel of the gun, truth don't run
Face it head-on, under the setting sun
Echoes in the canyon, a song unsung
At the barrel of the gun, my story begun
[Verse 2]
A bird in the wire, sparks in the sky
Chains on my heart, but wings still try
The howl of the wind, wolves on the prowl
Time ticking slow, hear the reaper growl
[Prechorus]
A loaded question, a heavy hand
Cards on the table, who takes the stand?
[Chorus]
At the barrel of the gun, truth don't run
Face it head-on, under the setting sun
Echoes in the canyon, a song unsung
At the barrel of the gun, my story begun
[Bridge]
The steel is cold, but my blood runs hot
Fate’s a cruel dealer, this hand’s all I got
Moonlight glinting on a worn-out crown
Fire in my eyes, can't back down
