Good Year for the Outlaw
First time I heard "Good Hearted Woman"
I was in my uncle's car
He said "Son, now that's what I call music, listen to them guitars"
You turn it up
Go on, turn it up
He said "Forget that crap you're listenin', to these songs, they got some meat"
I don't think I heard a single word
'Cause I was caught up in the beat
Yeah, I turned it up
Yeah, I turned it way up
And it was wild guitar, playin' loud and hard
Some hillbilly rock and roll
It was something new, breakin' all the rules
Man, I could feel it down in my soul
It was Waylon and Willie playin' Chet and Cash
Takin' the country back
Yeah, times were tough, and it was hard to find a job
Well, '79 was a good year for the outlaws
Well, it was something like five years later
I finally got my license to drive
I was hugging the kerb, first time I heard
"A country boy can survive"
And I turned it up
I turned it up
It was wild guitars, playin' loud and hard
Some kinda hillbilly rock and roll
It was something new, breakin' all the rules
But you could feel it down in your soul
He was the son of the original son of a gun
Takin' the country back
The economy was the worst you ever saw
Yeah, but '85 was a good year for the outlaws, son
Now somewhere in some honky tonk
You don't even know his name
Some young upstart, just startin' up
And he's wantin' to make a change
He says "turn it up"
He says "turn it up"
C'mon boys, sing it
They give me loud guitars, playin' loud and hard
A little hillbilly rock and roll
Make it something new, breakin' all the rules
I wanna feel it down in my soul
It was Waylon and Willie, playin' Chet and Cash
Takin' the country back
I just wanna sing the song that gets me up
This just might be a good year for the outlaws
I just wanna sing the song that gets me up
This just might be a good year for the outlaws
Just might be a good year for the outlaws
(Just might be a good year for the outlaws)
Just might be a good year for the outlaws
(Just might be a good year for the outlaws)
Just might be a good year for the outlaws
(Just might be a good year for the outlaws)
Just might be a good year for the outlaws

(Just might be a good year for the outlaws)
Just might be a good year for the outlaws
