The Young Cowboy's Lament

[Verse] I call her up, but she's never there, Leaves me hangin' in the thin, cold air, Voicemail again, oh, what a fight, To get some help, just ain't right. [Verse 2] Emails sent, they fall like rain, Never answered, it's such a pain, Left on read, I'm losin' hope, No reply, I'm at the end of my rope. [Chorus] Case worker blues, they're draggin' me down, Lost in the system, can't be found, Promises made, but none come true, Left all alone, I don't know what to do. [Verse 3] Appointments missed, always runnin' late, Can't depend on this twist of fate, Waitin' hours, just to be seen, Feelin' like I'm caught in a dream. [Verse 4] No follow-up, no call-back plans, Dealin' with life, by my own hands, Frustrations grow, as days go by, Wish I knew the reason why. [Chorus] Case worker blues, they're draggin' me down, Lost in the system, can't be found, Promises made, but none come true, Left all alone, I don't know what to do.

[Verse] Cody's got a heart as big as Tennessee fields, But Blanca's words are sharper than rusty steel. She tears him down, calls him names like a storm, He's wondering why he stays, why he feels so torn. [Verse 2] Travis shows up, sees the bruises on his friend's pride, Says, "You gotta leave her, Cody, come on and confide." Underneath the porch light, plans are quietly made, Time to break free from the chains Blanca laid. [Chorus] Blanca's storm is raging, but Travis stands tall, Says, "Cody, I got your back, we're climbing that wall." With a friend by his side, he finds the strength to leave, In a small-town night, Cody starts to breathe. [Verse 3] They pack his bags, moving silent through the house, Blanca's asleep, like an unsuspecting mouse. A past that's bitter, Cody's finally letting go, Heading for a dawn where love could truly grow. [Verse 4] On the road outta town, dust kicking up the past, Travis at the wheel, knowing freedom's fast. Cody stares out the window, a tear in his eye, But with each mile, he's starting to feel alive. [Chorus] Blanca's storm is raging, but Travis stands tall, Says, "Cody, I got your back, we're climbing that wall." With a friend by his side, he finds the strength to leave, In a small-town night, Cody starts to breathe.

(Verse 1) Curved lips, wide eyes, baby, that makes it worthwhile, Sun-kissed skin, soft touch, got me dreamin’ for a while. When you walk in the room, heads turn, hearts race, Like a summer breeze, you steal the air, leave a trail of grace. (Chorus) Oh, darlin’, you’re the melody to my favorite tune, The fire in my soul beneath the southern moon. Every step you take, every glance my way, Got me fallin’ harder, more with every day. (Verse 2) That sweet laugh, soft twang, girl, you light up the night, Dancin’ barefoot by the creek, love shining in your eyes. You don’t even know the way you take my breath, Like a country song that I’ll sing ‘til death. (Chorus) Oh, darlin’, you’re the melody to my favorite tune, The fire in my soul beneath the southern moon. Every step you take, every glance my way, Got me fallin’ harder, more with every day. (Bridge) If love’s a journey, I’d walk every mile, Through dust and rain, just to see you smile. A little front porch swing, just you and me, Rockin’ to forever, wild and free. (Outro) Curved lips, wide eyes, baby, that makes it worthwhile, When you walk in the room, I get lost in your smile.

[Verse] سعودی میں میرے خواب سہانے ہیں، پر دل بے بس وطن کی زمین، وہ باراتیں، چھوٹ گیا وہ ہر رس سردیوں میں تنہا، چھاؤں میں چھپتا ہوں ماں کی آغوش کے بغیر، کیسے زخم سہہ جاتا ہوں [Verse 2] پیارے پاکستان، میری روح تیری مسافت میں یاد آتی ہیں وہ گلیاں، چھوٹے چھوٹے خوشحال یار یہاں کا موسم مرجھا دیتا ہے دل کو گھر کی ہنسی، امّی کی مسکراہٹ، بنی مجھ سے بہت دور [Chorus] وطن کی یاد ستاتی ہے، پر پردیس ہے اب اپنی راہ دل میں اُٹھتے ہیں درد کے بول، وطن کی پیاس ابھی بھی جاگے ماں کی دعا، باپ کی نصیحتیں، سب آنکھوں میں آتی ہیں وطن کی خوشبو، میری جلن کو مٹاتی ہیں [Verse 3] بیماری کی رات میں، کوئی پاس نہیں دل کی باتیں کہنے والا، کوئی دوست نہیں جب جسم تھک کر چور ہوتا، سر پر ہاتھ کوئی نہیں تنہائی کی گھٹائیں چھاتی ہیں، دل کی بات کوئی سنتا نہیں [Verse 4] پیغام ابّا کے، خط امّی کے، دل کو درد بھر دیتے ہیں کیسے بتاؤں ان کو، کہ ان کی یاد میں جیتا ہوں اس پردیس کی زنجیر میں، میں بندھا رہتا ہوں پھر بھی دل کی روشنی، وطن ہی بناتا ہے [Chorus] وطن کی یاد ستاتی ہے، پر پردیس ہے اب اپنی راہ دل میں اُٹھتے ہیں درد کے بول، وطن کی پیاس ابھی بھی جاگے ماں کی دعا، باپ کی نصیحتیں، سب آنکھوں میں آتی ہیں وطن کی خوشبو، میری جلن کو مٹاتی ہیں

[Verse] Well, they started out in the USA, Gaming dreams that paved the way, But the money called from far away, And their souls began to sway. [Verse 2] Now they're dancing to a different tune, Building towers in Beijing soon, Freedom swapped for silver spoons, Underneath a red-lit moon. [Chorus] They sold their pride for a pocket change, Ain't it funny how the hearts can estrange, From the land of liberty to the Great Wall's range, Video game cowboys have gotten strange. [Verse 3] Characters once bold and free, Now tiptoe ‘round carefully, Changing plots with synergy, To fit another's legacy. [Chorus] They sold their pride for a pocket change, Ain't it funny how the hearts can estrange, From the land of liberty to the Great Wall's range, Video game cowboys have gotten strange. [Bridge] They forget where they came from, Just to make the big yuan sum, Integrity and freedom dumb, Dollar signs have made ‘em numb.

1. pantiņš) Zvaigznes spīd, bet sirdis slēpjas, Priekšā smieklīgi var, bet iekšā skumjas. Mēs dejojam, dziedam, diezin vai kāds redz, Kādā klusībā pazūd viss, ko neviens negrib dzirdēt. (Atkārtotā panta daļa) Mēs smejamies, bet acīs asaras mirdz, Nekad neatbildam, lai citi neredz. Laiks paiet, un mēs klusējot stāvam, Kā veļas poesia, ko steidzamies noslēpt. (2. pantiņš) Katrā pasaules stūrī, dvēseles trauksme, Savu prātu slēpjam kā siltu sega. Pāri ielām skan mūzika un prieks, Bet sirdī jūtam, kad skumjas mūs spiež. (Atkārtotā panta daļa) Mēs smejamies, bet acīs asaras mirdz, Nekad neatbildam, lai citi neredz. Laiks paiet, un mēs klusējot stāvam, Kā veļas poesia, ko steidzamies noslēpt. (3. pantiņš) Tu jautā, kā mēs jūtamies, bet vārdi pazūd, Kā unkts sapņos, ko neviens nesazina. Lai rādītu laimi, mēs dejas metā, Bet iekšā sirdīs mīņājas skumju smagums. (Fināls) Tātad dejo un dzieda, kad nakts pieklust, Bet sirdis mūk prom, nemeklējot uzticību. Lai citi nesaprot, kādas cīņas mēs cīnām, Mēs turam iekšā, pāri sapņiem mēs ejam.

[Verse] Well, the screen door slams, just like my heart, In this dust-covered hallway since we fell apart. Empty rooms echo with the sound of the past, Where love was once strong, but it just didn't last. [Verse 2] Old porch swing on the veranda still creaks slow, Just like the tears that from my eyes flow. Kitchen smells of dinners we never got to taste, Now they linger like dreams in such a lonely place. [Chorus] In this empty house, full of heartache and pain, Memories tumble like the endless rain. Every corner whispers your name so clear, But you're gone, leaving just this silence here. [Verse 3] A pair of boots by the door, unworn and old, This love story's gone, but the tale's still told. Photo frames facedown 'cause it hurts too much, To gaze at our life before we lost touch. [Bridge] Heart strings frayed, just like worn-out threads, I lay alone in our cold, empty bed. Hollow nights and mornings just the same, In this empty house where only heartache remains. [Verse 4] Mail's piled up, letters of hope and regret, Everyone's asking if I've moved on yet. But they don't see the ghost that haunts my mind, This heartache's the hardest thing to leave behind.

[Verse] Riding through the wild lands dust in my eyes Gun at my hip stars in the skies Honor's a mask that hides all my scars Whiskey stains dreams beneath those cold bars [Verse 2] Bounty on my head worth more than gold Stories of my sins are the ones they told Friends and foes blur out on the line A heart full of shadows never truly mine [Chorus] Arthur Morgan standing tall against the storm Life of an outlaw's never warm Chasing redemption with every stride In a world where it's hard to hide [Verse 3] Campfire tales and the wolves in the night Pulling out my six shooter ready for a fight Honor tested by the weight of the past Living on the edge how long can it last [Verse 4] Horse beneath me feels like home Wide open plains where I still roam Hunted by the ghost of what I’ve done Out running the justice under the sun [Chorus] Arthur Morgan standing tall against the storm Life of an outlaw's never warm Chasing redemption with every stride In a world where it's hard to hide

[Verse] Well, Kanzalone's sittin' down, controller in his hand, Streaming live on Twitch, he’s the talk of the land. Got his cowboy hat on, and a smile so bright, But when it comes to racin', it’s a hurdle and a fight. [Verse 2] He revs up his engine, all set to roll, But round the first corner, he’s outta control. Fans in the chat, they just can’t believe, How Kanzalone’s drivin' brings a chuckle and a tease. [Chorus] Kanzalone, Kanzalone, behind the virtual wheel, Smashin' and crashin', oh how does it feel? Dodgin' and swervin', never a straight line, He's the talk of the gamers, racin' one-off kind. [Verse 3] His truck’s in a ditch, his car’s on fire, But his spirits are high, he ain’t a liar. He laughs it all off, while his followers cheer, He’s the worst but the best, that much is clear. [Verse 4] Morning till midnight, he’s live on stream, His fans come to watch his wildest dreams. He ain't the champ, but he’s our star, Kanzalone, the legend, when it comes to cars. [Chorus] Kanzalone, Kanzalone, behind the virtual wheel, Smashin' and crashin', oh how does it feel? Dodgin' and swervin', never a straight line, He's the talk of the gamers, racin' one-off kind.

[Verse] In a chatroom far and wide, where lonely hearts confide, Lived a lady known as HalloweenGirl, with secrets she did hide. She kept the crowd enchanted, behind a mask so fair, But beneath the surface, the truth was hidden there. [Verse 2] She rose up as a mod, in the wild world of 321, With a charm that pulled folks in, they thought she was the one. Her pictures painted dreams, but reality they weren't, Yet still she held her title firm, despite the trust she burned. [Chorus] HalloweenGirl, you wear your mask so well, In the shadows of the internet, it's a story you won't tell. Caught with a web of lies, but still, you stand so tall, In the digital night, you're the queen of it all. [Verse 3] The whispers started softly, like a breeze across the night, They said her photos weren't her own, but she kept up the fight. With a wink and a smile, she brushed the doubts away, And stayed the guiding light, in that crazy chatroom fray. [Bridge] Oh, what a twisted tale, in the realm of screen and keys, Where truth and fiction dance, and no one really sees. Her crown not taken down, in the chaos she did thrive, In the virtual masquerade, she kept her role alive. [Chorus] HalloweenGirl, you wear your mask so well, In the shadows of the internet, it's a story you won't tell. Caught with a web of lies, but still, you stand so tall, In the digital night, you're the queen of it all.

[Verse] Met a lady named SweetSam, oh she was a mod, Over on 321 chat, acting like she was God, But she was never there, just a ghost on patrol, Left the place in chaos, like a runaway soul. [Chorus] SweetSam, SweetSam, where’d you go? Never saw you ‘round, and we’d all like to know, Promised us order, but brought only strife, SweetSam, SweetSam, moderator of life. [Verse 2] Threads went wild, and trolls had their way, In the chatroom realm, it was night and no day, Lookin’ for SweetSam, but she was nowhere found, She left us hanging, while chaos ran the ground. [Chorus] SweetSam, SweetSam, where’d you go? Never saw you ‘round, and we’d all like to know, Promised us order, but brought only strife, SweetSam, SweetSam, moderator of life. [Verse 3] She wore a badge, but what good did it do? If you can’t steer the ship, then it’s bound to lose crew, We called for help, but got silence instead, Just the phantom of SweetSam, messed with our heads. [Chorus] SweetSam, SweetSam, where’d you go? Never saw you ‘round, and we’d all like to know, Promised us order, but brought only strife, SweetSam, SweetSam, moderator of life.

Verse 1 I’m trying to get over you But nothing works no matter what I do Tonight I’m hoping something gives But it’s like raising the dead and making it live Got my windows down cruisin in the wind Hoping I can clean up the mess I’m in Chorus That’s what they don’t tell you When you break a woman’s heart Your left trying to put back together What you tore a part But it don’t work like it use to There’s a scar because of you I would’ve done better if I knew What I know now I wish I could unbreak your heart somehow Verse 2 It ain’t like you didn’t tell me How you’d feel if I done you wrong But I didnt listen to what you said Now im putting the words into this song What I should of told you all along How much you mean to me Just wasn’t enough to not make you leave Cause my actions were louder And that’s what you see Chorus That’s what they don’t tell you When you break a woman’s heart Your left trying to put back together What you tore a part But it don’t work like it use to There’s a scar because of you I would’ve done better if I knew What I know now I wish I could unbreak your heart somehow Bridge I hope your doing better these days Found you a man who makes you wanna stay Chorus That’s what they don’t tell you When you break a woman’s heart Your left trying to put back together What you tore a part But it don’t work like it use to There’s a scar because of you I would’ve done better if I knew What I know now I wish I could unbreak your heart somehow
