Outlaw In Me

I'm just a drifter, so here I go, lock and load, hit the road
And it don't matter if I'm ready 'cause I got to go
I stay strapped up, I got my boots tight
I'm fully focused, man, I got my head right

Sometimes I feel like a stranger in my own mind
I'm not a follower, I make my own line
If it's my last night, I hope God lets me in
Tell Him I was a good man, tell Him I was a good friend

Some want to see the light, some want to be the thunder
Some like to play at night, I can't sit back and wonder
And they don't know what they got until it's all gone
And God knows that I'ma ride until I'm called home

I got the wind on my face and hell on my heels
It's the devil deep inside that I just can't kill
It's that good man I just can't be
There's nothing left in the mirror, but a trace of me
I'm just livin' my life
Mama taught me wrong from right
No apologies, I'm alright, livin' free
It's just the outlaw in me

I know I'm an outcast, throw me off the wagon
They label me a problem, Mama, I don't know what happened
Got me draggin' 'round my past, I put my middle finger up
And every police that I pass harassin', followin' my truck

So I hung out with them boys on the wrong side of the tracks
Started drinkin', stated fightin', started likin' being bad
Man, I only took a drag, now I smoke 'em by the pack
First the devil drags you in and then he stabs you in the back

Didn't listen to me, did ya boy? I guess you got to learn
Like the sign is tryin' to tell you, up ahead is gonna burn
So for everything it's worth, y'all I'm sorry 'bout my past
I didn't know the things I've done would come and bite me in my ass

I got the wind on my face and hell on my heels
It's the devil deep inside that I just can't kill
It's that good man I just can't be
There's nothing' left in the mirror, but a trace of me
I'm just livin' my life
Mama taught me wrong from right
No apologies, I'm alright, livin' free
It's just the outlaw in me

Oh, I got that open road, heavy steel
This rebel soul is hard to kill
So tell the law to come and get me
On a steel horse ridin' through the dirty sin city

I got the wind on my face and hell on my heels
It's the devil deep inside that I just can't kill
It's that good man I just can't be
There's nothing' left in the mirror, but a trace of me
I'm just livin' my life
Mama taught me wrong from right
No apologies, I'm alright, livin' free
It's just the outlaw in me
