Midnight Outlaw

Knock knock, who's there? Not today, my friend,

This ain't the kinda place you wanna fuck around in

There's a sign on the door, and it ain't just for show,

Better pray up, son, before you end up in a whole.

Got a shotgun by the window, boots by the bed,

Ain't afraid of the dark or the words you said,

You can try your luck, but you best beware,

'Cause the spirit of God is alive in there.

Before you break into my house,

Stand outside, get right with the Lord,

Tell Him you're on your way, 'cause you won't get far,

This ain't no place for a midnight outlaw,

Before you break into my house,

Better think twice, better turn around now.

You can’t run with the wolves, when you have no tune,

If you cross this line, you'll be leavin' too soon.

There's a fire in the hearth, and a chill in the air,

Step too close, stranger, and you’ll be covered in despair.

Before you break into my house,

Stand outside, get right with the Lord,

Tell Him you're on your way, 'cause you won't get far,

This ain't no place for a midnight outlaw,

Before you break into my house,

Better think twice, better turn around now.

So heed this warning, stranger, don't test your fate,

This home is protected by more than a gate,

Say your prayers, then walk away,

Live to see another day.
