[Verse 1]
I came in mud-kicked
Boots on the boards
Neon off the windows
Still heard the chords
Mama left a Bible
Daddy left a scar
I learned how to smile
With a knife in the bar
You asked what I’m after
I said, “Pay my dues”
But my hands keep shaking
When I hear bad news
[Pre-Chorus]
Take one step closer
Watch me not fold
I got a hot wire heart
And a mouth full of gold
You can call me trouble
You can call me home
Either way, baby
I’m never alone
[Chorus]
Rattlesnake halo
Rattlesnake halo
Spin that ring on my head
Like you know what I know
Rattlesnake halo
Rattlesnake halo
If you want me, baby
You better hold on slow
[Verse 2]
I keep two names
One for the day
One for the shadow
That won’t go away
You love my laugh
When it cuts like a blade
You love that I vanish
Then come back the same
I got dust on my collar
Fire in my ribs
Took every wrong turn
And I still let it live
If the road gets hungry
I don’t beg, I bite
I was born in the hard part
Raised by the night
[Pre-Chorus]
Take one step closer
Watch me not fold
I got a hot wire heart
And a mouth full of gold
You can call me trouble
You can call me home
Either way, baby
I’m never alone
[Chorus]
Rattlesnake halo
Rattlesnake halo
Spin that ring on my head
Like you know what I know
Rattlesnake halo
Rattlesnake halo
If you want me, baby
You better hold on slow
[Bridge]
I ain’t clean
I ain’t tame
Got a little hell
In the roots of my name
But I’ll stand here
Right in your rain
When the whole world shakes
I’ll shake back the same
[Final Chorus]
Rattlesnake halo
Rattlesnake halo
Spin that ring on my head
Like you know what I know
Rattlesnake halo
Rattlesnake halo
If you want me, baby
You better hold on slow
Rattlesnake halo
Rattlesnake halo
I was made for the fire
And the fall that follows
