Ain’t That Guy No More ( Hard Cut)

Verse 1

Gravel crunch under these worn-out tires

Sun coming up, but I’m running on fire

Steel in my veins, dust in my lungs

Been biting back words off the tip of my tongue

Boss man talking like I owe him gold

But he don’t know what this back done hauled

Yeah I kept it quiet, let it all slide

But there’s a storm I can’t keep inside

Pre-Chorus (build with drums)

Knuckles white, yeah I’m done playing nice

Flip that switch, let the sparks ignite

Chorus (FULL BAND – heavy guitars)

I AIN’T THAT GUY NO MORE

Kick that door off the hinges, let it hit the floor

I’ve been down, yeah I’ve bled, been sore

But I AIN’T THAT GUY NO MORE

Try to push, I push back twice

Got a little bit of hell and a whole lotta fight

Say my name, better say it sure

I AIN’T THAT GUY NO MORE

Verse 2

Backroads echo with the life I live

Every mile’s something I had to give

Got dirt on my boots, fire in my chest

And I ain’t even close to my best yet

They can doubt, let ‘em run their mouth

I’ve been building something they can’t figure out

Every scar just sharpens the blade

I’m the monster that their doubt made

Pre-Chorus

Heart beats hard like a .45

Dead weight gone—I feel alive

Chorus (bigger, heavier)

I AIN’T THAT GUY NO MORE

Kick that door off the hinges, let it hit the floor

I’ve been down, yeah I’ve bled, been sore

But I AIN’T THAT GUY NO MORE

Try to push, I push back twice

Got a little bit of hell and a whole lotta fight

Say my name, better say it sure

I AIN’T THAT GUY NO MORE

Bridge (breakdown → heavy drop)

(half-time, gritty)

You can only bend a man so far

Before he turns those wounds into who you are

(build…)

Yeah I took those hits, yeah I felt that pain

Now I wear it like a badge, let it fuel my flame

DROP (scream / gritty vocal):

TRY ME NOW—I DON’T BACK DOWN

Final Chorus (anthem)

I AIN’T THAT GUY NO MORE

Yeah I came back stronger than I was before

You can shut me out, I’ll start a war

I AIN’T THAT GUY NO MORE

No brakes left, no fear inside

Got my family and that’s my ride

This is truth down to the core

I AIN’T THAT GUY NO MORE
