HEART THAT WON'T OUTLAW ITSELF (OUTLAW COUNTRY) - Levi Stoker
Pour less dimming in the evening chill
Mending my arm on this lonely hill
You took your liberty, you locked your door
Thought I'd go running off to fight your war
Felt the sting of the cold dirt ground
When the world you built started crashing down
They tell you to harden up, to lock the gate
To trade every drop of love for a heavy hate
But closing down ain't the way to heal
I won't run from the way I feel
I'm a heart that won't outlaw itself
Not gonna hide on a dusty shelf
I'll keep the door unlocked, I'll keep the fire warm
Let the rain be down, let the wreckage form
You can call it foolish, you can call it weak
But I'm finding my power in the truth I speak
Yeah, I'm a heart that won't outlaw itself
An old guitar with a scratched up pine
Pouring out comfort like a glass of wine
The pains will teach you when the truth is told
And I'm keeping my spirit out in the cold
A man who's broke isn't a man who's done
I'm turning my face to a rising sun
Oh, I'm a heart that won't outlaw itself
Not gonna hide on a dusty shelf
I'll keep the door unlocked, I'll keep the fire warm
Let the rain be down, let the wreckage form
You can call it foolish, you can call it weak
But I'm finding my power in the truth I speak
Yeah, I'm a heart that won't outlaw itself
No fence too high, no wall too thick
Can't stop a soul made of red clay brick
I'll forgive the shadow, I'll embrace the dawn
I'm still standing here, moving on
Oh, I'm a heart that won't outlaw itself
Not gonna hide on a dusty shelf
I'll keep the door unlocked, I'll keep the fire warm
Let the rain be down, let the wreckage form
You can call it foolish, you can call it weak
But I'm finding my power in the truth I speak
Yeah, I'm a heart that won't outlaw itself
Won't outlaw itself
No, never hide
Standing in the open with my arms open wide
Won't outlaw itself
Won't outlaw itself
