Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Boot prints in the Bible dust Back pew boy with a jaw like rust Black hat tilted Knuckles cracked Name on a warrant and a denim patch Cold coffee in a Styrofoam cup Shotgun seat and the seat’s all cut Momma said “son You were born half sin” I just grinned Kicked the door Walked in [Chorus] I got rust on my halo Blood on my boots Spit in the dirt Tell the judge the truth I ain’t good I ain’t tame I’m a one-lane road With a wreck at the end and a heavy load Let the choir all pray when they hear my name I’m the spark in the barn and the diesel flame Rust on my halo Rust on my halo And it won’t come clean (oh no) [Verse 2] Yeah I talk that gravel and glass Tobacco on my tongue Whole town on my back Twelve-pack heart with a one-shot aim Tore off the tag on the family name Steel-toe stomp on the porch I built House ain’t holy But the bones feel guilt Cross on the wall hangs sideways Twisted Same as my soul and the way I’m lifted [Chorus] I got rust on my halo Blood on my boots Spit in the dirt Tell the judge the truth I ain’t good I ain’t tame I’m a one-lane road With a wreck at the end and a heavy load Let the choir all pray when they hear my name I’m the spark in the barn and the diesel flame Rust on my halo Rust on my halo And it won’t come clean [Bridge] [Beat drops Guitar chugs harder] Black ice heart on a red clay lane (yeah) Laugh when it hurts Pour gas on the shame If the law want smoke Better pack a lunch I’m a long-bed curse and a steel-jaw punch (hey!) Tattooed sins on a sun-burnt neck If I ever make heaven It’s a paperwork wreck [Chorus] I got rust on my halo Blood on my boots Spit in the dirt Tell the judge the truth I ain’t good I ain’t tame I’m a one-lane road With a wreck at the end and a heavy load Let the choir all pray when they hear my name I’m the spark in the barn and the diesel flame Rust on my halo Rust on my halo Yeah Rust on my halo (ooh yeah)

folk, Dark outlaw country / hick-hop hybrid, male vocals. Mid-tempo 95 BPM with a chugging, train-like groove, distorted acoustic riffs doubled by gritty baritone electric. Deep, punchy 808-style low end slams under a swung trap kit. Verses stay tight and tense with spoken-sung swagger; chorus widens with gang vocals, octave harmonies, and a snarling lead. Occasional slide guitar stabs and harmonica wails for menace; mix leans dry and in-your-face, vocal right up front., deep, outlaw country, acoustic
