Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1 - Male] Neon on the bottles But my glass still feels half cold Thumb runnin’ that old label Like I’m tryin’ to smooth out what she wrote Bartender knows my story Keeps my secrets, keeps ‘em poured Got my hat pulled low, heart on hold Boots nailed to this floor [Verse 2 - Female] I walk in, boots click, room slows But you stare straight through your drink See that armor in your shoulders See a man too scared to blink I slide up one barstool Say, “That seat taken, cowboy?” You shrug like you got nothin’ left But I can hear the quiet noise [Chorus - Both] You’re guarded, but I get it You’re breakin’, but you won’t admit it Got a past that you still carry Like a hundred pounds of stone But I ain’t here to fix you Just sippin’ while I sit here with you If you’re stranded in this heartache alone at this bar I can be a soft place for your hard scars [Verse 3 - Male Rap] Yeah Said you saw it in my posture, pain in my posture (uh) Ring mark pale on my finger, ghost of a promise Two-step tracks on the floor where we used to dance Now it’s one man, one stool, one last chance To feel nothin’ Till you laughed low, little southern thunder You said, “Hurt like that can tear you under” I smirked, “Guess I’m livin’ proof” You said, “Or it frees you, if you tell the truth” [Pre-Chorus - Female] So I asked about her name You just traced your whiskey glass But your eyes said, “Stay right there” So I did, we let the minutes pass [Chorus - Both] You’re guarded, but I get it You’re breakin’, but you won’t admit it Got a past that you still carry Like a hundred pounds of stone But I ain’t here to fix you Just sippin’ while I sit here with you If you’re stranded in this heartache alone at this bar I can be a soft place for your hard scars [Bridge - Duet] [low male vocal register] I said, “I don’t need another angel leavin’” [female vocals softer] She said, “Boy, calm down, I ain’t even Ask you for forever, just your honest 3 a.m. You can keep your walls up I’ll just lean on them” [male rap, half-sung] Told you I’m a little too broke for love You said, “Broke things still can hold enough Room for a sunrise, room for a start” You tapped my chest light Said, “I can hear your heart” [Chorus - Both] [Chorus] [Outro - Both] Male: Neon’s goin’ dim now But I ain’t leavin’ like I came You took the edge off all that sorrow Just by sayin’ my first name Female: Maybe this is just one night Or maybe it’s a brand-new road But I’ll remember how your hurt eyes Finally let a little hope show Both: Two strangers on barstools Trading stories over old scars You were guarded, I was patient Now your heart’s leanin’ up against my heart

rap, Modern country-rap duet with male and female vocals trading verses over twangy acoustic, dusty dobro, and a warm, swung groove. Verses ride a half-time beat with sparse kick and snare, then choruses bloom with big harmonies, organ pads, and singalong claps. Rap sections stay melodic and conversational, tucked into the pocket; hook lands wide and anthemic with call-and-response ad-libs., country, sad, beautiful
