Outlaw You - Shooter Jennings
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 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 number 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 repackaged 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
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
