Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Hand-me-down shoes Names carved into the old desk wood Teacher said "She’s trouble" Like the whole town always knew I would Mama staring past me Ashtray full TV glow I learned to pour the bottles Before I learned to tie a bow [Chorus] I was a small town scapegoat They threw their blame like stones Little girl on the front line Fighting grown-up wars alone Yeah They wrote my story Before my heart had even grown I did the time for all their crimes And I walked that road alone [Verse 2] Sneakin' out the window To anyone who said my name soft Thought a rough hand on my shoulder Might be the love I never got Blue lights in the rearview Cold cuffs on my wrists Judge read out my sentence Like my life was just a list [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] I wasn't born bad I was just born there Where every crying child Is one more cross to bear [voice cracks Pushed] They said "You get what you give" But I gave all I had Just a kid in the chaos Paying bills for the past [guitar solo] [Chorus]

rock, Gritty blues-rock ballad with female vocals; slow swing groove that builds from bare slide guitar and brushed snare into a heavy, overdriven chorus. Verse 1 stays intimate with roomy drums and tremolo guitar; chorus slams with stacked vocal doubles, organ swells, and a singing lead guitar line shadowing the hook. Bridge drops to bass, rim clicks, and reverb-soaked guitar before a final full-band, shout-along chorus., blues
