Intro

Verse 1

Scatter gun blast hands in the air, half a million in a burlap

sack

Y'all

have a nice day as we make our way to the

Caddy in the

ally out

back

See when the

times get hard some good old boys turn to a life a

sin

We're like

Robin Hood, we're just twice as good but we can

never go

home again

Break

Verse 2

Well, I

grew up singing Amazing Grace in a little white church in the

woods

momma prayed hard for all her boys but her

praying didn't

do a bit of g

ood

The

sheriff and, a banker man, came to push us off of our

land

Now we're

six feet deep and my brothers and me we can

never go

home ag

ain

Chorus

Lord for

give me, I

know just what I

I'll take

what I need and

then I leave the

rest to my momma and

you

And that

tin roof cabin might

not have been heaven but it's

closer than I've ever

been

God

bless an outlaw's

weary soul, I can

never go home again

Break

Verse 3

Some

times I dream of that old front porch and my momma patching up a

quilt

While my

brothers and me lay around in the shade of that

live oak

tree on the

hill

Now it's

hide-out shacks better watch your back, and cover every track of where you've

been

thousand wrongs will never make it right, I can

never go

home ag

ain

Chorus

Lord for

give me, I

know just what I

I'll take

what I need and

then I leave the

rest to my momma and

you

And that

tin roof cabin might

not have been heaven but it's

closer than I've ever

been

God

bless an outlaw's

weary soul, I can

never go home again

Solo

Verse 4

Scatter gun blast tears a ten inch hole through an empty burlap

sack

As I s

ay my peace for my brothers and me as my

whole world fades to

black

Here's

three new graves underneath the shade of that live oak tree on the

hill

Over

looking momma's porch with a fresh coat of paint and a

shiny new Coup De Vill

Chorus 2

Lord for

give me, I

know just what I'

ve done

I've been

through hell and

found myself on

the wrong end of a gu

And that

tin roof cabin might

not have been heaven but it's

closer than I've ever

been

God

bless an outlaw's

weary soul, I thought I'd

never make it home ag

ain

God

bless an outlaw's

weary soul, I guess I

finally made it home again
