Tyrant

Cowboy Carter

Time to strike a match

And light up this juke joint

One-one-one by one, you hang them high

Your hands are steady and you sleep at night

How did you turn your heart to stone?

I don't want him back, but I can't let go

Hangman, answer me now

You owe me a debt, you stole him from me

I hated you once, I envy you now

Just tell me how, tell me how

(D.A. got that—)

Oh, she got that whoa there, hangman got that whoa there

Don't act like you don't know, giddy up, giddy up

Don't pay me in gold, giddy up, giddy up

Back outside, I'm on the road, giddy up, giddy up

When the sun goes down (It's night-night, hey)

Can hear her body howl (In the moonlight, hey)

I feel her eyein' me like owls (It's on sight, hey)

Hide your man when the hangman come in town (Ooh, yikes)

She's a tyrant every time I ride it, every time I ride it

Make it look so good, try to justify it

Boy, I know they're lookin' for me, how we gonna hide it?

Ride it like hydraulics, I am such a tyrant

Every time I ride it, every time I ride it

I don't like to sit up in the saddle, boy, I got it

Just relax, I got this, I got that exotic

Hips are so hypnotic, I am such a tyrant

Send me some shots, are you with me or not?

Throw it back, shoot up the bar

Tell the law we don't remember nothin' after that

Scot-free (Scot-free), whole city after me

Have you seen her? 5'9'', thick and fine, what a tragedy

Hey, hey, ridin' you while we tryna get away

Ridin' you while we tryna catch a wave

That's so sexy and I know it, and I ain't afraid to show it

Baby, I'm goated, baby, I'm glowin'

Hey, hey, on the run, run

Tap me on the shoulder when you reload the gun

Tyrant every time I ride it, every time I ride it

Make it look so good, try to justify it

Boy, I know they're lookin' for me, how we're gonna hide it?

Ride it like hydraulics, I am such a tyrant

How did you get used to the haunting? (The haunting)

The willing, the missing, the wanting (The wanting)

Dry eyes just send me across the divine

Hangman, teach me how not to cry

How not to cry, how not to cry

Ooh, she got that whoa there, hangman got that whoa there

Don't act like you don't know, giddy up, giddy up

Don't pay me in gold, giddy up, giddy up

Back outside, I'm on the road, giddy up, giddy up (Hey)

When the sun goes down (When the suns goes down)

You can hear this body howl (You can hear this body howl)

Giddy up now, diggadont, diggadont

Digga daddy, leave me 'lone, leave me 'lone

Damn if I do, dammit if I don't

Lady with a whip, want what she wanna want, okay

Tyrant every time I ride it, every time I ride it

Make it look so good, cowboys justify it

Boy, you know they lookin' for me, how we gonna hide it?

Ride it like hydraulics, I am such a tyrant

Every time I ride it, every time I ride it

I don't like to sit up in the saddle, boy, I got it

Just relax, I got this, I got that exotic

These hips so hypnotic, I am such a tyrant

Hangman, answer me now

You owe me a debt, you stole him from me (Giddy up, giddy up)

I hated you once, I envy you now (Hey)

Just tell me how, tell me how
