Lyric Outlaws Like Us

(Travis Tritt)

I was born a country singer
I love Charley Pride
Raised on He Stopped Loving Her
Cut my teeth on Mama Tried
Yes, I love Hank Wiliams
But I still love rock n roll
Hank Jr, me and Waylon,
We re all cut from the same mold
And they say country s changin
And we must all adjust
But I still think there s lots of room
For old outlaws like us

I love to jam with the Skynyrd band
Cause Freebird chills my bones
And I ve talked trash with Johnny Cash
And I ve sung with George Jones
And I have played on the Opry stage
Where the country legends stood
Where you don t give lies or alibis
Cause they don t do no good
And Lord, I guess, that I ve been blessed
Though I have been kicked and cussed
But it s nothing new to moan the blues
For old outlaws like us

And I wear this country banner
And I m proud to wave the flag
And you can talk all day bout the next Billy Ray
But I ll cast my vote for Hag
And when all those screamin metal bands
Have corroded into rust
There ll still be a show on Music Row
For old outlaws like us

Now, I don t have a crystal ball
To tell what lies ahead
But I play my way, though some folks say
Country rock is dead
And you may call me old-fashioned
You may think I m insane
But rhythm and blues is in my blood
And pumping through my veins
And I ve still got some loyal fans
That I know I can trust
Who will sell their souls for rock n roll
And old outlaws like us
