The Outlaw

Описание: The Outlaw.

[Verse 1]
Ten years gone behind a chain‑link dream,
Walked out quiet, tryin’ hard to keep clean,
Found a job turnin’ wrenches at a run‑down station on 85.
Came in early, sun barely hittin’ the door,
Boss man lyin’ cold on the oil‑stained floor,
Register open, blood on the tiles — and I knew my luck had just run dry.

[Pre‑Chorus]
Reached for the phone but the cord was sliced,
Heart beatin’ fast like a roll of loaded dice,
And I felt that old life creepin’ up on me again.

[Chorus]
Blue lights flashin’ in the distance down the track,
I’ve got the pedal to the metal, ain’t no time to look back,
They’ll say the outlaw did it ’cause that’s what we would do,
But after 10 long years for somethin’ I didn’t do, I ain’t never going back.

[Verse 2]
Stepped outside and the sirens wailed,
Didn’t take long ’fore the law had me nailed,
Pointin’ fingers like they’d been waitin’ on me to slip.
Jumped in my truck with the engine hot,
Dust kickin’ up from the gravel lot,
Freedom hangin’ by a thread and a half‑tank left to rip.

[Pre‑Chorus]
Radio cracklin’ with my name on blast,
Sayin’ I killed a man, like the verdict’s passed,
But I ain’t lettin’ them write my story one more time.

[Chorus]
Blue lights flashin’ in my rear-view down the track,
I’ve got the pedal to the metal, ain’t no time to look back,
They’ll say the outlaw did it ’cause that’s what we would do,
But after 10 long years for somethin’ I didn’t do, I ain’t never going back.

[Bridge]
Maybe there’s a judge somewhere who’d hear me out,
Maybe there’s a truth that could kill their doubt,
But I’ve learned the hard way justice ain’t always blind.
So I’ll ride this road till the wheels fall off,
Livin’ on luck and a prayer I toss,
’Cause freedom’s the only thing that’s ever really been mine.

[Chorus]
Blue lights flashin’ in the distance down the track,
I’ve got the pedal to the metal, ain’t no time to look back,
They’ll say the outlaw did it ’cause that’s what we do,
But after 10 long years for somethin’ I didn’t do, I ain’t never going back.
