An outlaw inside

เนื้อเพลง

(Verse 1) I live quiet, keep to myself, don’t need a crowd I’ll help a man in need and it feels good somehow Give you the shirt off my back or a place to stay the night But don’t confuse the kindness for a man who won’t fight I grew up throwin’ hands and protectin’ what was mine Learned early how to stand and how to draw the line I’ll do what’s right, won’t hurt nobody, won’t take what ain’t mine But other than that, don’t tell me what to do with my time (Chorus) I’m an outlaw inside, always been that way Live by my own code and I don’t need nobody’s say I’ll put up with things just to get along for a while But there comes a time when enough is enough and I smile People get used to bein’ told what to do Good for them, I ain’t that man and I never will be too I’m an outlaw inside and I’ll always stay true (Verse 2) I sit at a red light when there’s nobody around Or run sixty-five on a wide open road, five hundred miles of ground I do what I want as long as nobody’s gettin’ hurt Leave me alone if I’m mindin’ my own and I’ll leave you your dirt I’ve got the beast in my chest but the wisdom to keep him chained Till somebody takes my generosity and treats it like I’m playin’ Steal what’s mine or come for the ones that I love And that’s when the quiet ends and the outlaw shows up (Chorus) I’m an outlaw inside, always been that way Live by my own code and I don’t need nobody’s say I’ll put up with things just to get along for a while But there comes a time when enough is enough and I smile People get used to bein’ told what to do Good for them, I ain’t that man and I never will be too I’m an outlaw inside and I’ll always stay true (Bridge) I try to do right in this world, keep my hands clean Don’t hurt no one and don’t take what I ain’t earned But a man don’t need orders if he ain’t doin’ wrong Just leave him alone and he’ll get where he belongs The ruthless stays buried till the moment I need it Then the ones who mistook me find out they misread it (Final Chorus) I’m an outlaw inside, always been that way Live by my own code and I don’t need nobody’s say I’ll give you what I got till there’s nothin’ left to give But cross the line I drew and you’ll learn how I live People get used to bein’ told what to do Good for them, I ain’t that man and I never will be too I’m an outlaw inside and I’ll always stay true
