[Intro – Soft Acoustic Guitar + Ambient Pad]
[Verse 1 – Male Vocal, Acoustic Guitar + Light Drums]
Steel boots on a concrete floor
Clock’s tickin’ louder than the factory door
Sweat drippin’ down in the neon haze
Dreamin’ of wide skies a thousand miles away
[Pre-Chorus – Male Vocal, Add Electric Guitar Picking]
I’d trade these flames of steel and smoke
For the quiet where the sunrise spoke
Every whistle blows, I lose a little more
But my heart keeps runnin’ back to the open shore
[Chorus – Full Band: Acoustic + Electric Guitar, Bass, Steady Drums]
I’d rather ride a horse through the midnight rain
Than break my back in this heat again
Give me dust on my jeans, wind in my hair
Not this factory cage with no fresh air
I don’t need the machines or the timecard beat
I just need freedom underneath my feet
[Instrumental Break – Guitar Riff + Kick Drum Build]
[Verse 2 – Male Vocal, Stripped Back Guitar + Kick Drum]
Broken knuckles on the assembly line
Dreams don’t clock in, they just fall behind
Boss man says, “Son, don’t waste your youth”
But my saddle’s the only place I’ll find the truth
[Pre-Chorus – Male Vocal, Build with Snare + Harmony Layer]
Every gear that turns feels like a chain
But the open fields, they call my name
I’d burn this badge just to take that road
Where the prairie wind can lift my load
[Chorus – Full Band, Stronger Vocals + Backing Harmony]
I’d rather ride a horse through the midnight rain
Than break my back in this heat again
Give me dust on my jeans, wind in my hair
Not this factory cage with no fresh air
I don’t need the machines or the timecard beat
I just need freedom underneath my feet
[Bridge, EDM Layer + Light Synth Beats]
(English – airy vocal)
Run away, don’t look behind
The sky is open, the world is mine
Your heart’s not meant for rust and chains
It’s born to fly across the plains
[Instrumental Solo – Electric Guitar + Synth Counter-Melody]
[Chorus – Duet: Male + Female Vocals, Full Band + Synth Layer]
I’d rather ride a horse through the midnight rain
Than break my back in this heat again
Give me dust on my jeans, wind in my hair
Not this factory cage with no fresh air
I don’t need the machines or the timecard beat
I just need freedom underneath my feet
[Outro – Acoustic Guitar Fade + Soft Synth Pad]
I just need freedom
I just need freedom
Underneath my feet…
