Always said that the rules they made, Don't apply to the games I've played. Life’s been hard, but I ain't one who quits, Been knocked down, but I landed some hits. Every scar is a badge I earned, Each mistake is a lesson learned. [Chorus] I’ve been runnin’ free since I was young, Singin’ truth with a fiery tongue. Chains can’t bind what was born to roam, I made this outlaw life my home. No law man's cell could dare confine, This restless soul that I call mine. Just cross me once, and you will see, How an outlaw state of mind suits me. [Verse 2] I’ve seen men die before growin' old, Sold their souls just to grab some gold. I’ve watched lies on a preacher’s face, While the faithful tried to pray for grace. I walk my road with the truth I’ve found, Standin’ tall as the world breaks down. I toe the line through the hardest nights, And never back down from any fights. [Chorus] I’ve been runnin’ free since I was young, Singin’ truth with a fiery tongue. Chains can’t bind what was born to roam, I made this outlaw life my home. No law man's cell could dare confine, This restless soul that I call mine. Just cross me once, and you will see, How an outlaw state of mind suits me. [Bridge] I've been battered and I've been bruised, I’ve lived with nothin’ left to lose. Still I keep goin', head held high, No one owns me, don't even try. [Chorus] I’ve been runnin’ free since I was young, Singin’ truth with a fiery tongue. Chains can’t bind what was born to roam, I made this outlaw life my home. No law man's cell could dare confine, This restless soul that I call mine. Just cross me once, and you will see, How an outlaw state of mind suits me. [Outro]
