“Half Wild, Half Warning”
[Intro]
[Music: Clean electric guitar with slide fills, stomping kick drum, deep bass, distant wolf howl, subtle fiddle.]
I ain’t everybody’s cup of whiskey…
I’m the burn that stays after the bottle’s gone.
[Verse 1]
[Music: Acoustic guitar, steady drums, warm bass, light banjo accents.]
Mama said I came out kicking…
Covered in dirt instead of lace.
Always chased the sound of thunder…
Never cared about playing safe.
I’ve kissed mistakes…
I’ve wore the blame…
Still ain’t ashamed of my own name.
[Pre-Chorus]
[Music: Drums build. Electric guitar swells. Harmony vocals begin.]
Some folks call it stubborn…
Some call it insane.
I just call it…
Still breathing.
[Chorus]
[Music: Full band explodes. Big country-rock guitars, crashing cymbals, soaring harmonies.]
I’m half wild… half warning…
A little midnight…
A little morning.
Heart of fire…
Boots of stone…
Never needed saving…
Built my own home.
Love me hard…
Or let me be…
I’m the storm…
That learned to dance free.
Half wild…
Half warning…
Handle me…
At your own risk.
[Verse 2]
Music: Palm-muted guitar with driving bass. Fiddle answers each vocal line.]
I’ve buried dreams…
Raised new ones.
Watched hope rise…
With the morning sun.
Every scar’s another chapter…
Every bruise another flame.
I quit apologizing…
For surviving my own pain.
[Verse 3]
[Music: Slightly darker tone, heavier bass, restrained electric guitar with echoing slide.]
I’ve stood in rooms full of silence…
Where nobody dared to speak my name.
Felt the weight of every judgment…
Like a chain I couldn’t break.
But I learned to wear the pressure…
Like a crown made out of steel.
If they tried to bury my spirit…
They just taught it how to heal.
Now I walk through every shadow…
Like it owes me what it stole.
Half my heart is made of fire…
The other half is made of soul.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
[Music: Bigger toms, layered harmonies, guitar tension.]
If I fall…
I’ll hit fighting.
If I cry…
Nobody owns those tears.
[Chorus]
[Music: Bigger guitars, stronger harmonies.]
I’m half wild… half warning…
Lightning living…
Without a forecast.
Too loud…
Too honest…
Too alive…
To ever live halfway.
Love me…
Leave me…
Either way…
I’ll keep rolling.
[Bridge]
[Music: Everything drops to piano, fiddle, and soft kick. Slow emotional build.]
I finally learned…
You don’t tame fire…
You learn…
Which hands deserve its warmth.
The rest…
Can watch it burn from a distance.
[Final Chorus]
[Music: Biggest moment. Double electric guitars, fiddle soaring above the mix, gang vocals.]
I’m half wild…
Half warning…
A heart that bends…
But never breaks.
Dust on my boots…
Stars in my eyes…
Still chasing horizons…
Still chasing life.
If you’re looking…
For ordinary…
Keep driving.
I was never built…
For easy roads.
[Outro]
[Music: Slide guitar, fading fiddle, distant thunder.]
I’m not everybody’s peace…
But I’ll always be…
My own freedom.
