When Death Visits A Outlaw
https://suno.com/song/7a126b4e-c5de-459f-9f09-28feda6178d5
He don’t kick the door in, don’t rattle no chain
Just sits in the corner like he knows my name
I been fightin’ shadows with a torn-up arm
And a head full of ghosts that won’t stay calm
Doctor talk circles, say “we’ll run that again”
Like truth’s just a number on a needle and pen
I laugh like a fool, say “boys I ain’t done”
Still got a few debts and a little more run
Chorus
When death visits an outlaw, I pour him a drink
Tell him “pull up a chair, give me time to think”
I ain’t scared of leavin’, just got more to prove
Still got songs in my chest and miles to move
Yeah he can wait at the table, tip his hat slow
But I ain’t goin’ with him ‘til I say let’s go
Verse 2
Shoulder’s half busted, but it still holds a tune
Strummin’ through the pain like a dog in June
Mind runs wild like a fence cut loose
But I ain’t laid down and I ain’t cut truce
They say “take it easy,” I don’t speak that tongue
I’ve been too damn busy stayin’ half young
If the clock’s runnin’ fast, I’ll outrun the tick
Turn every bad hand into one more trick
Chorus
When death visits an outlaw, I pour him a drink
Tell him “pull up a chair, give me time to think”
I ain’t scared of leavin’, just got more to prove
Still got songs in my chest and miles to move
Yeah he can wait at the table, tip his hat slow
But I ain’t goin’ with him ‘til I say let’s go
Bridge (short, spoken feel)
You can sit there all night… I ain’t arguin’ fate
But I’ve cheated worse odds… you’re just runnin’ late
Final Chorus (lifted)
When death visits an outlaw, he don’t get the reins
I been breakin’ bad luck like a runaway train
If it’s my time comin’, it can come on down
But it’ll find me standin’, not laid in the ground
Yeah he can knock all he wants, but I already know—
An outlaw decides when it’s time to go

Yes - I heard the robot! When I hear a track like this I get curious. It's Suno but I'm guessing you had a lot of input..I hope so anyway. Nothing not to like here. Classic Elvis N.

More like a grunt, but I'll call it a win :)
