Whippin Through the Trees

Broken in boots on them railroad ties
Always taught me how to stay alive
The law loves to see me at my knees
I'm free as the wind whippin through the trees
Im barely 23

I want to head west just to say I did
Be a lost drifter like billy the kid
Hold my head high & try not to die
Get nice and loaded on bourbon & rye
Feeling mighty high

When the doing needs to be done
Like the squeeze of an outlaws gun
My father always told me son dont ya run
But here I am & I'm running for fun

Running wild like an old truck
Always liked to push my luck
Pounding through my last few gears
The same old me just a different year
The worlds so unclear

Well I am Trying hard to be a man
Go ahead go tell Uncle Sam
When I'm done running around
I'll settle down in your little town

My life was changing in so many ways
Train cars a rolling so are the days
Try my hardest to become a man
Told myself it was always my plan
And so I ran

But when the doing needs to be done
Like the squeeze of an outlaws gun
My father always told me son dont ya run
But here I am & I'm running for fun

Trying hard to become a man
Go ahead go tell Uncle Sam
When I'm done running around
I'll settle down in your little town

Broken in boots on them railroad ties
Always taught me how to stay alive
The law loves to see me at my knees
I'm free as the wind whippin through the trees
Whippin through the trees
