Title: “Cedar Hill Heat”
(Verse 1 – immediate hook, visual, TikTok open)
Red dirt stuck in a cracked windshield
July sun, yeah it never healed
Cedar hills baked, dry as bone
Learned real quick how to stand alone
Haulin’ cattle ‘fore the daylight showed
Coffee bitter, heart in tow
Every mile just another test
Texas heat on my chest
(Pre-Chorus – tighter, rhythmic)
We were broke but proud and young
Bet our lives on a borrowed run
Every dollar had blood and sweat
But I ain’t done missin’ it yet
(Chorus – catchier, shorter, repeatable)
That Cedar Hill heat still pulls me back
Burnt red skies and a dust-off hat
Rodeo nights and a restless sleep
Tryin’ to make somethin’ outta nothin’, deep
Yeah, I bled for every mile I’d drive
That Texas heat’s how I learned to fight
(Verse 2 – condensed but vivid)
Pipeline mornings, fence wire cuts
Horse trades made in pick-up dust
Bull men talk in quiet tones
Cattle kings sittin’ tall and known
I rode for cash, I hauled for pay
Said “yes sir” just to earn my way
Some deals hit, some fell through
That’s Texas teachin’ what hard work do
(Pre-Chorus 2 – stronger lift)
Good men don’t lie, they show
Shake your hand, then let you go
If you made it, you made it clean
If you didn’t, you learned what it means
(Chorus – repeat)
That Cedar Hill heat still pulls me back
Burnt red skies and a dust-off hat
Rodeo nights and a restless sleep
Tryin’ to make somethin’ outta nothin’, deep
Yeah, I bled for every mile I’d drive
That Texas heat’s how I learned to fight
(Bridge – emotional, quiet → build)
I still hear spurs on a gravel lot
Still feel the sun when I close my eyes
Youth don’t stay, but it don’t rot
It just waits where the heart still lies
(Break – TikTok loop moment)
Just a kid with a tank on E
And a dream hotter than the heat on me
(Final Chorus – biggest, cleanest)
That Cedar Hill heat still calls my name
Dry wind hummin’ through my veins
If I ever feel lost or weak
I’ll run back south to that Texas heat
Yeah, the road still knows my feet
In the Cedar Hill country waitin’ on me
(Outro – soft)
Still waitin’ on me…
