Lyrics
Intro
Some men follow the rules… I just follow the road and the gun.
Verse
Dust on my boots and a price on my nameSix cold chambers and a heart full of flameThe lawmen are coming but they won’t take me aliveI’ve been running these backroads since I was twenty-five
Chorus
I’m an outlaw till the day I dieNo badge, no chains, no alibiJust me and the night and a loaded rideLiving free on the wrong side of the line
Bridge
They can dig my grave on a lonely hillBut they can’t dig the fire out of meI’ll spit in the face of every last decreeAnd ride like the devil’s on my heels
Verse
Whiskey for breakfast and bullets for friendsI don’t say sorry and I don’t make amendsEvery scar on my body tells a story of prideI’d rather go down swinging than live on my knees and hide
Chorus
I’m an outlaw till the day I dieNo badge, no chains, no alibiJust me and the night and a loaded rideLiving free on the wrong side of the line
Bridge
The gallows might be waiting at the end of this trailBut I won’t beg and I won’t turn paleI was born for the thunder, born for the fightI’ll meet my maker under open sky tonight
Bridge
Let the wind write my story on the desert floorLet the coyotes sing when I’m here no moreI chose this life and I’d choose it againAn outlaw’s heart till the very end
Final Chorus
I’m an outlaw till the day I dieNo badge, no chains, no alibiJust me and the night and a loaded rideLiving free on the wrong side of the lineYeah I’m living free on the wrong side of the line
Outro
They can take the man… but they’ll never take the outlaw out of him.
