outlaw overture

Can't shut me up
I put my faith in a loaded gun
They try to cut me down
I was raised in a dying town, yeah

I miss my drugs (drugs)
They've been my friends since twenty-one
Still, I'm burning out
You'll probably die before I make you proud, yeah

All the pages are blank 'til my life goes to shit
I know I do that on purpose just to write again

Paint my car black (paint black)
Burn my last check (burn it all)
Lose all contact (gone again)
Fake my own death (fuck it all)
Make me feel like I'm alive (yeah)

Run rebel run (run)
Don't let them turn you into what they want
I'm bad to the bone (to the bone)
Two wheels and the body's chrome, yeah

My speech still slurs
I started drinking after I left church
But I still can't sleep
This medication doesn't work on me, no

Paint my car black (paint black)
Burn my last check (burn it all)
Lose all contact (gone again)
Fake my own death (fuck it all)
Make me feel like I'm alive (alive)
Make me feel like I'm alive (yeah, yeah, uh)

Take me somewhere cheap
Where the living is easy
Out of all their reach
Set my spirit free

I feel confined by societal norms
I was born to walk the line
Survived being insecure
But it led to my decline

This time, I don't think I'll turn back
This time, I'ma do shit my way back
I'm gone by the time they come back
This route is a one-road highway

Same face with a brand-new wardrobe
My old clothes in gasoline
Smoke hand-rolled cigs I'm old soul
I feel just like James Dean

Take me somewhere cheap
Where the living is easy
Out of all their reach
Set my spirit free

What's left behind
What's left behind
Can't take it with me
Nothing's left behind
Nothing's left behind
Can't take it with me

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
