Verse 1

E Well that label man said son now can you sing a little bit more clear E Your voice might be too genuine and your song's a little too sincere E A7 E Can you sing a little more about outlaws and the way things used to be E (once) B7 (once) (fill 1) He told me you just worry about writing them songs leaving everything else to me

Verse 2

E Daddy was a Highwayman but he never wrote any old country songs E Papaw never stayed out raising hell til the break of dawn E A7 E But he raised a proud coal miners daughter and I'm proud to be her son E (once) B7 (once) (fill 2) She told me boy I don't care if you hit it big, cause you’re already #1

Chorus

A7 E That's the way it goes in this day & age E B7 You ain't gotta read between the lines you just gotta turn the page A7 E Well the most outlaw thing that I've ever done was give a good woman a ring E B7 E But that's the way it goes, life ain't fair and the world is mean

Verse 3

E Well I still got the wife and the dog but I swapped the truck out for a van E Gonna hit the road find the end of that long white line in the promise land E A7 E Won’t hear my song on the radio cause that new sounds all the rage E B7 (once) (fill 2) But you can always find me in a smokey bar with bad sound and a dim lit stage

Chorus
