Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1 – Male] Coffee cup cold Boots by the door You walk in smilin’ But the air feels sore There’s a folded paper By the salt and the knife My shaky handwriting Sayin’, “I’m done with this life” [Pre-Chorus – Female] My hands start shakin’ as I read those words Every line cuttin’ deeper than a barroom slur “You deserve better than a broke-down ride By the time sun rises, I’ll be gone from your side” [Chorus – Duet] This cowboy’s last night Is written in ink on our kitchen table Baby, if you’re readin’ I thought I was keepin’ you safe by lettin’ go But you find that note And the hurt hits harder than the hardest road This cowboy’s last night Ain’t the way our story should be told [Verse 2 – Male Rap] Yeah Thought I was doin’ you a favor, I was dead wrong Bottle in the cabinet, I been sippin’ way too long Every little argument, I wore it like a brand Told myself you’d be better off without this man Saddle on the wall, dust on my old pride Tears on the words where I say goodbye “I’m tired, I’m tried, I’m a busted-up mess By dawn I’ll be a memory you won’t regret” [Pre-Chorus – Female] I drop to my knees on that hardwood floor Hear your boots outside, I run to the door If this is your last night, I ain’t lettin’ it be ’Cause if you’re leavin’ this world You’re leavin’ with me [Chorus – Duet] This cowboy’s last night Is written in ink on our kitchen table Baby, if you’re readin’ I thought I was keepin’ you safe by lettin’ go But you find that note And the hurt hits harder than the hardest road This cowboy’s last night Ain’t the way our story should be told [Bridge – Call & Response] [Male] I’m so tired of the fight in my head [Female] I’ve been right here, holdin’ you instead [Male] I wrote that note thinkin’ love would move on [Female] I burn that page, I refuse to be strong alone [Male] If this is my last night, I wanna stay [Female] Then hold my hand, we can face that breakin’ day [Both, soft] If this cowboy’s done Then he’s ridin’ home, not ridin’ away [Chorus – Duet] [Chorus]

rap, Slow-burn country ballad meets sparse country-rap duet. Fingerpicked acoustic and mournful pedal steel set the scene, with deep male lead and warm female vocals trading lines. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d; rap sections drop in with a dry, close kick and subtle bass pulse. Choruses bloom with stacked harmonies and a simple organ pad, letting the hook land heavy., sad, country
