[Verse]
Boot heels clack on the desert stone,
Dust in the wind, marrow to the bone.
Venom in the veins, no antidote,
Tongue spits fire, rattlesnake throat.
Cactus shadows, they stretch so thin,
Sin on my boots, whiskey on my skin.
[Chorus]
Rattlesnake venom, it burns in my soul,
Outlaw spirit, I can't control.
Bite too deep, can't shake the rhythm,
Heart still beats with rattlesnake venom.
Venom, venom, can't let it go.
[Verse 2]
Midnight skies with a copper moon,
Humming low like a funeral tune.
Hollow-point words, they ricochet,
Lost in the echoes of yesterday.
Spurs cut the ground, trails of red,
Living like a ghost, half-alive, half-dead.
[Prechorus]
Can’t tame the wild, it’s in my blood,
Thorns in my path, dragging through the mud.
[Chorus]
Rattlesnake venom, it burns in my soul,
Outlaw spirit, I can't control.
Bite too deep, can't shake the rhythm,
Heart still beats with rattlesnake venom.
Venom, venom, can't let it go.
[Bridge]
Ashes fall where the fire once roared,
Crossroads creeping, which way's the Lord?
Fangs in the dark, I hear the hiss,
Life’s a gamble, death’s a kiss.
