[Verse 1] He came out the reeds With mud on his heels Raised by the wild On stubborn bayou nights Old Gibson in hand Strings full of scars He wrote his first songs By lantern and stars [Pre-Chorus] He learned how to pray With his boots in the clay Learned how to stay When the rain won’t let go Now he stands in the gap With a child on his back And a woman who knows He’ll come home [Chorus] He’s the Outlaw Saint Outlaw Saint Angel wings over a hard man’s name Outlaw Saint Outlaw Saint He loves like fire He stands through the rain [Verse 2] He’s a husband at dawn A father by noon A provider when bills Come prowlin’ the room A protector at night With a steady old stare He keeps the wolves back And he keeps faith there [Pre-Chorus] Still a feral heart From the deep, dark start But he gives what he’s got With a whole lot of grace He don’t speak too loud He just shows up proud With a hymn in his chest And dust on his face [Chorus] He’s the Outlaw Saint Outlaw Saint Angel wings over a hard man’s name Outlaw Saint Outlaw Saint He loves like fire He stands through the rain [Bridge] If you ask where he’s from He’ll point to the flood To the cypress roots And the blood in his mud But his hands still lift When the trouble comes near He was forged by the wild And he’s holy right here [Final Chorus] He’s the Outlaw Saint Outlaw Saint Angel wings over a hard man’s name Outlaw Saint Outlaw Saint He loves like fire He stands through the rain Outlaw Saint Outlaw Saint A sinner made steady by mercy and grace
