Name: Outlaws Don't Last Long
Duration: P00H03M58S
Description: I wrote this song with that guitar riff in my head the whole time in about an hour while in College Algebra class. I am so glad that I kept the paper it was written on. All these years later I picked it up and immediately the riff came back to me and with melody like it never left. That was 11 years ago.

lyrics

I'm an Outlaw and I don't give a damn
I'm an Outlaw and I don't give a damn
I like to sip my southern whiskey
take a puff and drink it down

Yea Outlaws, they dont last long
You know them Outlaws, they like to ride alone
Always getting high, women on the side
Singing them ol' Hank Williams songs
Outlaws don't last long

Yea my momma told me, son you better get it right
Yea my momma told me, son you better get right
'Cause if the Man upstairs starts calling
Gonna be in a hell of a fight

I hear my daddy calling from the other side
Yea my daddy's calling from the other side
He said son learn by example
Outlaws don't last long

Yea Outlaws, they don't last long
You know them Outlaws, they like to ride alone
Always getting high, women on the side
Singing them ol' Hank Jr. songs
Outlaws don't last long
