Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Fresh boots, still got the tag on Phone searchin' hard for a bar Dust in my lungs, sun in my eyes Rental truck parked by the barn Coffee tastes like burnt freedom These hands don't match this land Then I heard thunder with no rain Comin' up out of the sand [Chorus] Wild heart in a wire fence I see you, you see me tense I'm the stranger in a pressed-up shirt You're the one who’s never learned to hurt If this life makes you disappear I'll spend every breath out here For a wild heart in a wire fence I ain't leavin' you in this mess [Verse 2] They came runnin' over the ridgeline Dust haloed manes in the blue Old scars, white blazes, dark eyes But that young bay locked on me too She stepped close, head on my shoulder Breath warm, blowin' off my fear City miles fell off my back Like I'd been waitin' years right here [Chorus] Wild heart in a wire fence I see you, you see me tense I'm the stranger in a pressed-up shirt You're the one who’s never learned to hurt If this world tries to box you in I'll tear down every post they pin For a wild heart in a wire fence I ain't leavin' you in this mess [Bridge] Then came trailers, chains and shouting (hey) Clipboards, pens, and dollar signs Boss said, "Son, that's just the business" But I saw prison in her eyes So I called up folks with quiet power Signed my paycheck to their fight Filed those papers like a prayer Stayed all day and half the night [Verse 3] Now that herd runs on a refuge Her brand is just the setting sun Kids lean over dusty railings Pointin', askin' what we've done I say, "I'm just some lost fool" Who showed up dressed too clean But one brave mare picked my side And dragged my heart out to this dream [Chorus] Wild heart in a wire fence I saw you, you saw me tense I was nothin' but a city guest You turned me into somethin' blessed When this life tried to lock you down We turned that gate to sacred ground For a wild heart in a wire fence I ain't leavin' you I ain't leavin' you In this mess

country, Warm Americana country with male vocals, brushed snare and fingerpicked acoustic guitar. Story-led verses stay intimate and close, with pedal steel swells painting the open land. Chorus opens into a wide, rootsy singalong with harmony stack and steady kick, then a small fiddle line lifts the bridge before a gentle, hopeful final chorus.
