Like an Outlaw

Like an outlaw
In a kind of wild-west
I always done what I had to do
And now I keep the cards close to my chest
Like an outlaw
Always travelling alone
Eyes scan the wide horizon
Looks like home
An outlaw
From a corrupt court
Now I'm looking for that Big Rock Candy Mountain
I'm that sort

I never wasted any money paying fines
I rather just keep moving
Than to give them my time

I've been a lover
On a fine summer's day
But even the most beautiful woman
Couldn't get me to stay
Like a good man
I help my friends
But then I must keep moving
To continue the trend
Like a drifter
No sense
Everywhere I travelled
I saw that world-weariness

I never had any respect
For those who serve the liars and tyrants
With their fall in line threats

Like an outlaw
On my way
They may be out ahead now
But tomorrow's gonna have it's say
With a vengeance, yeah
If I ever see them again
Then I was just a kid
Now I'm a man
Like an outlaw
I don't need anyone
I don't need no new-age plastic
But I like having the gun

I never saw any reason for me to atone
For the life that I've led
For making the horizons my home

Like an outlaw
In a kind of wild-west
I always done what I had to do
And now I keep the cards close to my chest
Like an outlaw
