Modern Day Outlaw
I've never been the brightest in the room
I've never had a way with words
Tattoos and scars cover my arms
And quite a few cigarette burns
I'm with the wrong sort of crowd and we get real loud
Breaking glass and starting fights
Drinking hard liquor from the fifth with a smile
While we drive around town at night
Cause I'm a modern day outlaw, rebel with no cause
Tearing up the urban frontier
With a fire in my eyes and some red and blue lights
Flashing in my rearview mirror
And yeah the mamas think I'm evil and the preacher says I'm doomed
And hell they ain't all that wrong
Cause I'm the devil not a saint and it ain't a damn shame
I won't be around for long
Cheap cocaine keeps me awake
Through night until sunrise
If I told you what I dream, if I really came clean
You would kill me on sight
At 5 PM there's a bang and shout
Yeah the cops are at my door
I grab the .45 with a murderous smile
If I die I'm just killing one more
Cause I'm a modern day outlaw, rebel with no cause
Tearing up the urban frontier
With a fire in my eyes and some red and blue lights
Flashing in my rearview mirror
And yeah the mamas think I'm evil and the preacher says I'm doomed
And hell they ain't all that wrong
Cause I'm the devil not a saint and it ain't a damn shame
I won't be around for long
I don't know why I live this way
I guess that's for God to judge
But I haven't left home in 20 years
Without a switchblade and a gun
No mercy or shame in my mind
No I do it all for the thrill
Don't care who you are or where you're from
You best believe I'm shooting to kill
Cause I'm a modern day outlaw, rebel with no cause
Tearing up the urban frontier
With a fire in my eyes and some red and blue lights
Flashing in my rearview mirror
Cause I'm a modern day outlaw, rebel with no cause
Tearing up the urban frontier
With a fire in my eyes and some red and blue lights
Flashing in my rearview mirror
And yeah the mamas think I'm evil and the preacher says I'm doomed
And hell they ain't all that wrong
Cause I'm the devil not a saint and it ain't a damn shame
I won't be around for long
Cause I'm a modern day outlaw, rebel with no cause
Tearing up the urban frontier
With a fire in my eyes and some red and blue lights
Flashing in my rearview mirror
And yeah the mamas think I'm evil and the preacher says I'm doomed
And hell they ain't all that wrong
Cause I'm the devil not a saint and it ain't a damn shame
I won't be around for long
