Cross Draw Lyrics—R.J. Sloane
Cross Draw is an outlaw country song by R.J. Sloane about walking away from a fight that should have killed him and finding he's still whole on the other side.
Every outlaw ends up in Boot Hill eventually. But some men draw against death itself and come out standing. This is the quiet, assured aftermath—no gloating, no fear, just a man who's been through the fire and knows exactly what he survived.
VERSE 1
Grave dug deep
Boots caked in dust
Every man I've buried
Every debt paid up
Bullets spent
Blood in the ground
Reaper's shadow
Circling round
CHORUS
Death
Where is your sting
Death
Where is your victory
Grave stands open
Empty and cold
Walked through fire
Came out whole
VERSE 2
Buzzards circle
Over bones and stone
Every outlaw
Ends up alone
But I've got a promise
Carved deep in my chest
Death ain't the ending
It's just a test
CHORUS
Death
Where is your sting
Death
Where is your victory
Grave stands open
Empty and cold
Walked through fire
Came out whole
BRIDGE
Stared down the barrel
Of my own grave
Wasn't afraid
I'm already saved
Sting is broken
Chains fall away
Death, you lost
On the reckoning day
CHORUS (final)
Death
Where is your sting
Death
Where is your victory
Grave stands open
Empty and cold
Walked through fire
Came out whole
OUTRO
Death
Can't have my soul
