Words by sleepless Elvis and empathy Shade

Verse 1
I got more past behind me than future,
But I’m still cashin’ in on what’s left.
A bucket full of lessons, not regrets —
Just the cost of a life well-spent.
The mirror don’t scare me, it knows my name,
And I ain’t done payin’ my rent.
Chorus
No pity, no prayers, no rewind,
You make your peace, you draw your line.
Ain’t beggin’ time for one more try,
I’ll ride this wind ‘til the wheels run dry.
It ain’t what I lost, it’s what I kept —
A bucket full of lessons, and no regrets.
Verse 2
I’ve burned some bridges just for light,
And built a few out of pain.
Loved hard, fought mean, sang through the smoke,
And did it all in my name.
If you think I’d trade it, you’d lose that bet —
The road made me who I am.
Chorus
No pity, no prayers, no rewind,
You make your peace, you draw your line.
Ain’t beggin’ time for one more try,
I’ll ride this wind ‘til the wheels run dry.
It ain’t what I lost, it’s what I kept —
A bucket full of lessons, and no regrets.
Bridge
I ain’t preachin’, just tellin’ it straight,
Ain’t no bargain, just fate.
If the reaper’s waitin’, let him wait —
I still got songs to play.
Final Chorus
No pity, no prayers, no rewind,
You make your peace, you draw your line.
The tank runs low, but I don’t mind —
The fire’s still burnin’ fine.
It ain’t what I lost, it’s what I kept —
A bucket full of lessons, and no regrets.

An excellent read. I think it's a great lyric idea. Should take music well. Now, I'll go listen.

Hola @ElvisNash
A portrait full of vivid brushstrokes, a journey through your mirror.
I didn't want to listen to Suno's version; I just read it, and that was enough for me.
The truth is, there are so many lines, so many well-drawn drawings, that I couldn't tell which one is my favorite, but in the end, I'll say that I really liked this phrase:
"I'll ride this wind 'til the wheels run dry."

What a ripper! I love this. Great feel to it, starting with that strong lyric.
"A bucket full of lessons" is a lovely title and hook. And you've got the mood down perfectly to match it.
Lovely stuff Elvis!
