"Outlaw In Me" lyrics

"Outlaw In Me"

Mama says that I drink too much
Daddy don't like the cussin' when I sing
Got a good girl missin' me back home
Yeah, I'm stretched pretty thin today
So, I'll keep treadin' water like I'm breathing through a straw
You still think I'm an outlaw

Who can tell me what's an outlaw
Well, I'm not for certain, but I can tell you what it ain't, son
It ain't hats, tats, a sound or in between
It's about not being wanted where you want to be
So, I'll keep treadin' water like I'm breathing through a straw
You still think I'm an outlaw

Well, I know I'm no different, I'm just a troubadour looking for
A rhyme or a reason that I think is worth rhyming for
Say, I'm too Idaho for Texas and I'm too Texas for Tennessee
So, I'll do my own thing
And there's that outlaw in me

Mirror, mirror what do you see
Is that the boy that I used to be
Is it the man of yesterday
But his soul went and withered away

So, I'll keep on treadin' water like I'm breathing through a straw
You still think I'm an outlaw

Well, I know I'm no different, I'm just a troubadour looking for
A rhyme or a reason that I think is worth rhyming for
Say, I'm too Idaho for Texas and I'm too Texas for Tennessee
So, I'll do my own thing
And is that outlaw in me

Well, I know I'm no different, I'm just a troubadour looking for
A rhyme or a reason that I think is worth rhyming for
But I'm too Idaho for Texas and I'm too Texas for Tennessee
So, I'll do my own thing
And is that outlaw in me
