Neon Outlaw

Lyrics

NEON OUTLAW [Intro – Spoken / Low & Raspy] Yeah… They put a price on my name. Put my face on every screen. But there’s one thing they’ll never own… me. [Verse 1] Black boots walking on a dead man’s road, chrome moon hanging where the cold wind blows. Got a six-string humming like a warning sign, and a broken machine keeping perfect time. Neon bleeding through the desert rain, every damn city knows my name. Got no home and I got no crown, just a rusted heart that won’t stay down. [Pre-Chorus] They got eyes in the sky, wires underground. But you can’t chain a ghost that was born unbound. [Chorus] I’m a neon outlaw, riding through the electric night. Got the devil in the engine and a dead moon for my light. I’m a neon outlaw, wanted everywhere I go. You can put a price upon my head — but you’ll never own my soul. No… You’ll never own my soul. [Verse 2] Steel dogs hunting by the interstate, digital preacher says, “Accept your fate.” I pulled the plug, watched the whole thing burn. Some men obey. Some men never learn. Got whiskey blood and gasoline dreams, nothing in this world is what it seems. Every billboard tells me who to be. So I shot that screen and let myself run free. [Pre-Chorus] Let the satellites watch. Let the sirens sound. I ain’t looking for heaven — I’m just getting out of town. [Chorus] I’m a neon outlaw, riding through the electric night. Got the devil in the engine and a dead moon for my light. I’m a neon outlaw, wanted everywhere I go. You can put a price upon my head — but you’ll never own my soul. [Instrumental Break – Dirty Slide Guitar / Industrial Beat] Ohhh… Let that old guitar cry. [Bridge – Spoken / Dark] They built their walls out of numbers. Built their gods out of code. Put a camera on every corner… and a chain on every road. But somewhere beyond those city lights, where their signal finally dies… there’s still a little piece of earth where a man… can disappear. [Breakdown] No chip. No chain. No master. No name. No law. No throne. Just blood… steel… and bone. [Final Chorus – Heavy] I’M A NEON OUTLAW, BURNING THROUGH THE ELECTRIC NIGHT! THERE’S A DEVIL IN MY ENGINE AND A FIRE IN MY EYES! I’m a neon outlaw, let every damn machine know — you can hunt me to the edge of this world… BUT YOU’LL NEVER OWN MY SOUL! Never own it. Never break it. Never take it. Never own my soul. [Outro – Blues Guitar / Spoken] When the last screen goes black… and the last machine goes cold… I’ll still be riding. Yeah… I’ll still be riding.
