Outlaw You
I get home from a long day
Put on the radio
Lookin' for some country soul
But I don't find it, no
It's a dirt road free for all
Some old boys sayin' they're outlaws
They dress the part and they talk the talk
You know they've been taught to walk the walk
These boys think they're tough
Like they been robbin' banks
Cause they name drop Johnny Cash
And they name drop poor old Hank
-
Hey pretty boy in the baseball hat
You couldn't hit country with a baseball bat
Country ain't just about where you're at
It's about bein' true to what's inside
You say you're an outlaw with your perfect boots
That you got from your record label's image group
Sing another man's song with a big drum loop
Listen, son, you ain't got a clue
You can't buy true
Tell you what they should do
They should outlaw you
-
Let me paint a picture for you
Nashville in '62
The formula had proven true
They didn't let nothing new through
When Waylon came to town
They didn't like his original sound
They tried hard to keep him down
They tried hard to starve him out
But he kept playin' shows and pressin' on
Chippin' away, song by song
After years and years of strugglin' strong
He got his chance and he took it to NO.1
With "This Time" back in '74
With his band in the back and 4 on the floor
That one record busted down the door
And the record labels had the control no more
-
Then in '76 came the Outlaws record
Sold the first million in country music ever
Those old boys with long hair and braids
Stayed true to their sound and freed the slaves
And all these years later
The suits got back their grip
They took the outlaw concept and they re-packaged it
And there's a million Ol Waylon fans
Singin' "Don't y'all think this outlaw bit has gotten way out of hand"
-
Hey pretty boy in your cowboy hat
You couldn't hit country with a baseball bat
Country ain't just about where you're at
It's about bein' true to what's inside
You say you're an outlaw with your perfect boots
That you got from your record label's image group
Sing another man's song with a big drum loop
Listen, son, you ain't got a clue
You can't buy true
Tell you what they should do
They should outlaw you
They should outlaw you
Hey pretty boy in the baseball hat
-
You couldn't hit country with a baseball bat
Country ain't just about where you're at
It's about bein' true to what's inside
You say you're an outlaw with your perfect boots
That you got from your record label's image group
Sing another man's song with a big drum loop
Listen, man, you ain't got a clue
You can't buy true
Tell you what they should do
