Shadows

[Intro]
Ridin’ through the dark, with a fire in my soul,
Shadowed by the night, but I’m still whole.

[Verse 1]
These shadows try to drown the fire in my eyes,
Whisperin’ fears of my last goodbyes.
But I’ve been down roads where the wild ones roam,
Where the only law was a cowboy’s own.

[Pre-Chorus]
They say run, boy, don’t look behind,
But I’ll keep pushin’, leave the dark behind.

[Chorus]
These shadows can’t hold me, I’m runnin’ too wild,
Sing it if you’ve ever been lost before,
We ain’t goin’ back, we’re kickin’ down doors.
Yeah, the night might chase, but it don’t control me—
Turn it up loud, these shadows can’t hold me.

[Verse 2]
Boots on the dirt, heart heavy but free,
Chasin’ that storm just to find my destiny.
Ain’t no chains for the midnight rider,
Just a lone soul fueled by fire.

[Pre-Chorus]
They say run, boy, don’t look behind,
But I’ll keep pushin’, leave the dark behind.

[Chorus]
These shadows can’t hold me, I’m runnin’ too wild,
Sing it if you’ve ever been lost before,
We ain’t goin’ back, we’re kickin’ down doors.
Yeah, the night might chase, but it don’t control me—
Turn it up loud, these shadows can’t hold me.

[Bridge]
Raise your voice in the dead of night,
We’re the ghosts that refuse to fight,
With every step, breakin’ free,
Shadow games ain’t meant for me.

[Outro]
So here’s to the wild, to the ones who break free,
Ride with the shadows, but still see the light,
They can chase us, but they’ll never catch,
We’re the fire that’s burnin’ bright.
