[Intro]
Yeah…
New planet, same old heat
Me and my amigo against the street
Let’s ride
[Verse 1]
Dropped into a settlement carved out of red stone
Alien sun hanging low like a warning all alone
Town called Dustfall, no maps, no law worth trust
Just traders, scavengers, and bosses full of rust
I walk in with Rusty, my armadillo from the fringe
Cyber-shell gleaming, little gambler with a grudge
We only need supplies, fuel cells and some water
But the local kingpin spots the ship and smells a profit order
Says “Outsiders pay the tax or they don’t leave alive”
I tip my hat real slow, tell him we just passing by
He laughs, snaps his claws, sends the enforcers our way
Rusty drops to a ball, armor spinning like a blade
I draw the laser, one clean arc, lights go dark
Crowd hits the dirt while we cut through the spark
Ain’t looking for a war but I’ll finish what they start
Cowboy code still stands even out here in the dark
[Hook]
Trouble in the dust, trouble in the dust
Alien town, crooked rules, and a price on us
Me and my amigo, shell hard, heart true
Ride or die through the fire, that’s just what we do
Trouble in the dust, trouble in the dust
No badge gonna save them when the outlaws adjust
Spurs in the gravity, stars as our guide
Space cowboy forever… with Rusty at my side
[Verse 2]
We duck through the alleys where the neon don’t reach
Rusty digs a shortcut under the market and the breach
Come up behind their engines, plant a charge on the tank
One silent countdown, then the whole dock goes blank
Boss comes running, armor cracked, pride in the dirt
I put the barrel near his head but I don’t make it hurt
Just say “Next time a stranger lands, remember this face
The frontier ain’t yours to tax… it’s still open space”
We lift off as the sirens paint the skyline red
Rusty curls in the co-pilot seat, chuckles in my head
“Another town, another lesson they won’t soon forget”
I smile, hit the thrusters, leave the trouble in the set
Every planet’s got a sheriff who thinks he’s the end
But a cowboy and his armadillo still rewrite the trend
From Dustfall to the void, we keep the legend alive
Ain’t no cage in the cosmos that can hold how we ride
[Hook]
Trouble in the dust, trouble in the dust
Alien town, crooked rules, and a price on us
Me and my amigo, shell hard, heart true
Ride or die through the fire, that’s just what we do
Trouble in the dust, trouble in the dust
No badge gonna save them when the outlaws adjust
Spurs in the gravity, stars as our guide
Space cowboy forever… with Rusty at my side
[Bridge]
They build their little kingdoms on fear and on greed
But the real west is endless, and it don’t ever bleed
One shot, one friend, one ship against the night
We turn their trouble into stories… then we vanish in the light
[Outro]
Yeah…
Dustfall in the rearview
Me and Rusty, still riding
The stars keep blinking back
Keep moving.
Peace.
