Texas Scorpion (The Outlaw Blues) Songtext
von Rocky Votolato

I was born wild, out with the quarter horses
I was born a texas scorpion
And I was just a kid back then crazy free and mean
I didn′t know any better than I did
Please don't hold it against me

And how many times can apologies apologize
Can it add up to forgive an entire life

I am broken just like we all are
Is redemption too much to ask for now
I just want to sing a happy song
For the ones I pushed away
I just want to sing a happy song
For the ones I tried to love before I′m gone


I know you did your best with what you were given
So don't be too hard on yourself now, all is forgiven
The strength of the iron is forged in the fire
I am grateful for our life out with the quarter horses

So there's no more need for apologies to apologize
I added it up forgiveness was all that was left

I am broken just like we all are
I think redemption isn′t too much to ask for now
I just want to sing a happy song
For the outlaw I pushed away
I just want to sing a happy song
For the easy rider before he′s gone

So I kneeled down at the throne
Of Divine Mercy
And said a prayer for your peace
In your hour of need
