(Verse 1) I was born under a blood-red sky, Out where the tumbleweeds roll and die, Mama said I was wild at heart, Broke the law before I broke a heart. The sheriff’s got my name in his book, But he’s too scared to take a second look, Out in the badlands, I make my stand, Dust on my boots, whiskey in my hand. (Chorus) I’m a shadow on the edge of time, Running fast, can’t leave it behind, I ain’t no hero, but I’ll hold the line, In this outlaw state of mind. Dust and whiskey, blood and pride, The desert wind is my only guide, Ain’t no peace that I can find, In this outlaw state of mind. (Verse 2) I’ve got a Colt that’s never missed, A lover’s heart I can’t resist, But there’s a price on a soul like mine, Paid in bullets, whiskey, and moonshine. They say a man’s got to know his fate, But I’m just ridin’, it’s gettin’ late, Through ghost towns and empty tracks, Ain’t no one ever gonna drag me back. (Chorus) I’m a shadow on the edge of time, Running fast, can’t leave it behind, I ain’t no hero, but I’ll hold the line, In this outlaw state of mind. Dust and whiskey, blood and pride, The desert wind is my only guide, Ain’t no peace that I can find, In this outlaw state of mind. (Bridge) The moon is high, my saddle’s worn, I’ve lived this life since I was born, Gunsmoke rises in the night, I’ll ride forever till the morning light. (Chorus) I’m a shadow on the edge of time, Running fast, can’t leave it behind, I ain’t no hero, but I’ll hold the line, In this outlaw state of mind. Dust and whiskey, blood and pride, The desert wind is my only guide, Ain’t no peace that I can find, In this outlaw state of mind. (Outro) Yeah, dust and whiskey... In this outlaw state of mind.
