Outlaw Livin'

V4.5-ALL

[Verse 1] This life I live is the one I chose Ain't nobody's business,God knows But the lawmen want to outlaw me,and I just don't know why I love my neighbors,I love this land I'm just tryin'to be who I am So somebody tell me,tell me why... [Chorus] So if livin'true is an outlaw's game Then I guess I'll wear the name I ain't holdin'up no convenience store Not tryin'to change the world, not lookin' for a war Just for a little peace,a little grace In this hard and lonely place Yeah,they call me an outlaw for livin' my truth Just a girl who's long done payin'her dues [Verse 2] Saw a headline on the TV screen 'bout some kid like me in Tennessee They passed a law with a cruel design Just to make a life like hers a crime And her momma cried,asked the world "Oh why?" Another soul just left to die... [Chorus] So if livin'true is an outlaw's game Then I'll damn sure wear the name I ain't holdin'up no convenience store Not tryin'to change the world, not lookin' for a war For a little peace,a little grace In this hard and lonely place Yeah,they call me an outlaw for livin' my truth Just a girl who's long done payin'her dues [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] The workin'man can't afford the rent Politicians fightin'over how it's spent We're all just outlaws in our own right Tryin'to make it through another night And if your love comes with a twist of a knife... Then this outlaw life chose me [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] 'CAUSE LIVIN'TROOOOO IS AN OUTLAW'S GAAAAME! AND I WIIIILL WEAR THE NAAAAME! YOU PREACH THE BOOK BUT YOU CAUSE SOOOOO MUCH PAAAAIN! Yeah,they call me an outlaw for livin' my truth! [Spoken, low and intense over a final chord] If Jesus came back today... You'd throw him in a camp anyway... [Pause... then explosive finale] SO I'LL DAAAAAAMN SURE WEAR THE NAAAAAME
