Peace & Powder Smoke

[Intro] (soft guitar, light organ swell) Mmm… yeah… Verse 1 She walks in like a calm in a storm I can’t outrun Sunlight in her hair, yeah she’s second to none Got a way of quietin’ the noise in my head Just one look from her, and the chaos is dead Boots on the floor, denim hugging her just right Little wild in her smile, little fire in her eyes Yeah she knows what she’s got, ain’t afraid to show But she ain’t just a body—she’s a place I can go Pre-Chorus She don’t flinch at the man that I am All the scars, all the sins on my hands Chorus (lift, more power) She’s my peace in the madness, my calm in the night Yeah she moves like a dream, every motion just right Fine as hell, yeah I said it, ain’t no shame in that truth But she’s deeper than the curves and the way that she moves And she don’t mind the weight that I carry on me Cold steel on my hip, yeah she lets me be free While the world keeps spinnin’ tryin’ to tear me apart She’s a soft place to land with a beautiful heart Verse 2 (full, soulful) She’ll laugh when I’m rough, showing love and her grace Trace her fingers slow down the lines on my face Got that heat in her touch, yeah it lingers like sin But it’s the way that she stays when the night closes in Ain’t scared of the dark that follows me home She just pulls me close, says I ain’t alone Yeah she knows I’m a storm, ain’t built to be tamed But she loves me anyway… just the same Pre-Chorus She don’t try to change what she sees Just loves the hell outta me Chorus (lift, more power) She’s my peace in the madness, my strength in the fight Yeah she moves like a sinner, and she loves me all night Fine as hell—yeah I ain’t gonna lie..... It’s her body and soul that brings me to life And she don’t mind the steel that I carry on me That cold weight on my hip lets a man stay free While the world keeps pushin’, tryin’ to break my heart She’s the only damn place I lay down my guard Bridge (strip it back, almost spoken) Yeah I’ve lived on the edge, danced close with the flame She ain’t scared of the fire, she just calls out my name And if it all goes south, if the night turns black She’ll be right there beside me, never turnin’ her back [Break- instramental] Final Chorus (big, emotional release) She’s my peace in the madness, my calm in the fight Got a body like heaven and a soul full of light Yeah I’d walk through hell just to hold her again She ain’t just my woman—she’s my best friend And she don’t mind the man that I choose to be With that weight on my hip and my past behind me Yeah the world can keep talkin’, we don’t give a damn She’s my heaven on earth… and I’m her kind of man [Outro] (fade, guitar + organ) Yeah… she’s my peace… In the powder smoke…
