AMBUSHED (Remastered)

Verse 1 We were rollin’ through the quiet like a slow west wind Two hearts tied together, thought it’d never end You were laughin’ in the lantern light, soft and low Didn’t see no danger on that open road No smoke on the ridge, no sign of a fight Just you ridin’ close in the pale moonlight If love’s a trail… I was ridin’ blind Never saw the outlaw you were hidin’ inside ⸻ Pre-Chorus No warnin’ shot… no shadows move Just one cold truth I never knew ⸻ Chorus I got ambushed… on a clear blue day No bandits in the canyon, just you ridin’ away One minute we were solid, next minute you’re gone Like a six-gun fired and the damage was done You kissed me like forever… then you cut me loose Left me bleedin’ in the dust with nothin’ but proof Love can draw quick when you least expect it to I got ambushed… by you ⸻ Verse 2 You played it smooth like a poker hand Smilin’ like you never had a different plan All them “I love you’s” now they feel rehearsed Like a setup line ‘fore the whole thing bursts I was guardin’ nothin’, just lettin’ it ride While you were loadin’ bullets I couldn’t see inside Now I’m laid out here where the truth runs cold Shot through the heart on a road of gold ⸻ Pre-Chorus No sound of boots… no battle cry Just a whisper… then goodbye ⸻ Chorus I got ambushed… on a clear blue day No bandits in the canyon, just you ridin’ away One minute we were dreamin’, next minute it’s through Like a trapdoor fallin’ outta sky so blue You held me like forever… like I was your truth Then you vanished like a ghost with nothin’ left to prove A man don’t brace for the one he trusts the most I got ambushed… by a love that turned ghost ⸻ Bridge Now the wagon’s broke and the horses ran And I’m sittin’ here tryin’ to understand How the safest place I’d ever known Turned into a place I face alone ⸻ Final Chorus (lift it up, then drop it hard) I got ambushed… never saw the sign No dust trail risin’, no fault of mine Just a quiet little moment where my whole world changed Like a smile hidin’ somethin’ strange You said nothin’ was wrong… looked me dead in the eye Then you pulled that trigger with a sweet goodbye Ain’t no outlaw meaner than the one you trust I got ambushed… …in love and dust
