Outlaw in Me Songtext
von Colby Acuff

Mama says that I drink too much
Daddy don′t like the cursin' when I sing
Got a good girl missin′ me back home
Yeah, I'm stretched pretty thin today

So, I'll keep treadin′ water like I′m breathing through a straw
You still think I'm an outlaw

Who can tell me what′s an outlaw?
Well, I'm not for certain, but I can tell you what it ain′t, son
It ain't hats, tats, a sound, or in between
It′s about not being wanted where you want to be

So, I'll keep treadin' water like I′m breathing through a straw
You still think I′m an outlaw


Well, I know I'm no different, I′m just a troubadour looking for
Oh, a rhyme or a reason that I think is worth rhyming for
Say, I'm too Idaho for Texas
And I′m too Texas for Tennessee
So, I'll do my own thing
And there′s that outlaw in me

Mirror, mirror, what do you see?
Is that the boy that I used to be?
Is it the man of yesterday?
But his soul went and withered away

So, I'll keep treadin' water like I′m breathing through a straw
You still think I′m an outlaw?

Well, I know I'm no different, I′m just a troubadour looking for
Oh, a rhyme or a reason that I think is worth rhyming for
Say, I'm too Idaho for Texas
And I′m too Texas for Tennessee
So, I'll do my own thing
And there′s that outlaw in me


Well, I know I'm no different, I'm just a troubadour looking for
Oh, a rhyme or a reason that I think is worth rhyming for
But I′m too Idaho for Texas
And I′m too Texas for Tennessee
So, I'll do my own thing
And there′s that outlaw in me
