about

Just an outlaw ballad

lyrics

My pa, he held the line in 1941
Shelled Germans in the trenches all over Verdun
He always said I’d be an army man like him
It would’ve been if not for gamblin’ and gin
But I ain’t so different
Just different reasons
Pa killed men in the trenches all over verdun
Yeah I ain’t so different
Got different reasons
I kill men in the ditches for pocket change and guns
I’m down in Texas with a 1945 colt holstered
And I have a feeling I’m about to drink and drive
Folks passing by me won’t look me in my eye
But tell me
Ain’t living just the easiest way to die?

To make it easier Ill say I’m like the old gunslingers
A bandit taking things off of men when they die
And I’ll take a truckful of their guns southbound and down to Miami
And sell em to men in snakeskin boots with evil eyes

And I’m down in Texas with a 1945 colt holstered
And I have a feeling it’s about to save my life
Back In the alley with the shifters and the grifters I will
QuickDraw and send em to the grave to save my hide
QuickDraw and send em to the grave to save my life
