[RIFF DNA INSTRUCTIONS]
The song features a signature instrumental riff that defines its identity.
Use these vibe descriptors to shape the riff - do NOT interpret as literal notation:

Archetype: The Strut
Character: thick, sludgy blues riff with swagger and grit, loose feel like the guitarist is slightly behind the beat, crunchy overdriven tone, fat low end with occasional bent notes creating unhinged character
Feel: drag | Deliberate Flaw: Bent note on the 3rd repetition breaks pocket—slides up a half-step and hangs there, deliberately sloppy and uncontrolled
Mutation: Every 4th loop, the 6th note drops an octave lower, thickening the low end and adding a growl

[Intro – Solo Guitar]

[Verse 1 – Soft acoustic + steel]
I woke up on the floor again  
Ash in the air, sin on my skin  
Another bottle, another lie  
But I still heard that old hymn cry

The neon cross above the bar  
Lit up my guilt, showed every scar  
But grace don’t come in clean-cut lines  
It found me drunk, and out of time

[Pre-Chorus – Piano enters]  
I said a prayer in a stranger's voice  
A whisper broke through all the noise

[Chorus – Full group vocal begins]  
**Whiskey and redemption, poured in my soul**  
**Lost in the shadows, now I’m whole**  
**Lift up my voice, let the heavens ring**  
**Found my salvation in the songs I sing**

[Verse 2 – Add organ, light drums]  
The choir in my head sang low  
While I staggered through that morning glow  
A cracked amen in a smoky room  
But even broken strings can tune

[Pre-Chorus – Voice rising]  
Forgiveness wears a weathered face  
But even I could find that grace

[Chorus – Louder, richer harmony]  
**Whiskey and redemption, poured in my soul**  
**Lost in the shadows, now I’m whole**  
**Lift up my voice, let the heavens ring**  
**Found my salvation in the songs I sing**

[Bridge – Vocal solo, stripped back]  
There’s no altar made of gold  
Just six strings and stories told  
If mercy waits beyond regret  
Then I ain't runnin' empty yet

[Final Chorus – Triumphant, full instrumentation]  
**Whiskey and redemption, poured in my soul**  
**Burned through the silence, made me whole**  
**I’ll raise this heart, let the angels swing**  
**Found my salvation in the songs I sing**

[Outro – Steel guitar reprise, fading choir hum]
