Listen and make your own on Suno.
There’s a busted neon buzzin’ in a border town bar
Dust on the bottles, smoke on the cards
Sheriff says the devil rides these midnight rails
But the boys at the counter just laugh and raise hell
EI got a brim pulled low and a scar on my chin
A past full of fights and county lock-ins
She asked me, “Boy, what keeps a man this cold?”
I said, “Steel gets rusty, but some hearts don’t fold”
(Chorus)
’Cause outlaws don’t melt with 100 proof whiskey
Burns goin’ down but it can’t ever fix me
Throw me in the fire, let the whole world tilt
Bad men break, but outlaws don’t melt
(Verse 2)
Saw a preacher man cry when the bank vault blew
Said the wages of sin come collectin’ their due
But the moon kept shinin’ on the hood of the Ford
Like heaven got tired of keepin’ score
I kissed a girl in a cheap motel light
Then ran from her love before daylight
Every road I take leaves a little more guilt
But ghosts ride forever when outlaws are built
(Chorus)
Yeah, outlaws don’t melt with 100 proof whiskey
A hundred bad nights still can’t drown what hit me
Ain’t no river deep enough to wash this filth
Bad men break, but outlaws don’t melt
(Bridge)
So line up the shots
And light up the dark
We’re all just sparks
Tryin’ to outrun the mark
Some men get saved
Some men get killed
Some men keep ridin’
Against God’s will
(Final Chorus)
No, outlaws don’t melt with 100 proof whiskey
Can’t drown a memory when it cuts this deeply
If redemption’s real, it missed me by an inch
And bad men break…
But outlaws don’t melt
(Outro)
There’s a busted neon buzzin’ in a border town bar…
And the last outlaw’s still holdin’ his scars.
