WHEN I GO QUIET, YOU BETTER RUN

Intro Funny thing about loud men... You always hear 'em coming.

Verse 1 You keep mistakin' calm for weak, Keep lightin' matches at my feet. Talk real big with your friends around, But courage dies when the room shuts down. You think this hat's just dust and age, You think these scars ain't earned their page. I've buried things you couldn't survive, That's why I don't waste words on lies.

Pre-Chorus I don't bark. I don't beg. I don't warn you twice...

Chorus When I go quiet... You better run. 'Cause silence means The damage's done. No more talk. No more bluff. You kept pushin'— Now you've pushed enough. When I go quiet... Pray you never learn How cold a man can get When there's nothin' left to burn.

Verse 2 I ain't the fastest draw in town, I just don't miss when it all goes down. Every mile this road has known Left another piece carved into bone. You keep countin' every word I said, I keep countin' who's still left. A long memory's a dangerous friend, Some debts don't ever reach an end.

Pre-Chorus Keep your laughter. Keep your pride. You'll lose both at the same damn time.

Chorus When I go quiet... You better run. 'Cause silence means The damage's done. No more talk. No more bluff. You kept pushin'— Now you've pushed enough. When I go quiet... Pray you never learn How cold a man can get When there's nothin' left to burn.

Bridge The loud ones Need an audience. The dangerous ones... Don't. When I go quiet... You better run. Every bridge you crossed Comes undone. No more mercy. No more luck. You kept knockin' Till the whole damn world woke up. When I go quiet... You'll remember why... Some men don't raise their voice— They just change your life.

Outro Funny thing about quiet men... You never hear 'em coming.
