Dream different

Sunburnt brim

Tilted low on my eyes

Half-empty bottle

Riding shotgun by my side

Got a warrant in Texas

Got a woman in pain

Got that highway humming

Through the cracks in my brain

Whiskey river runnin’ through my veins

Slow roll thunder in the pouring rain

I keep drifting

Drifting

Changing names

But this outlaw heart

Still beats the same

(yeah it beats the same)

County line creeping

Like a snake ’cross my boots

Preacher on the AM

Reading fire and truth

I made peace with my demons

At a diner off 65

Now they sing me to sleep

When the road won’t unwind

Whiskey river runnin’ through my veins

Slow roll thunder in the pouring rain

I keep drifting

Drifting

Changing names

But this outlaw heart

Still beats the same

(oh it beats the same)

Sun goes down

And the guilt gets loud

Headlights flash

Like a one-man crowd

I ain’t asking heaven

To remember my face

Just a little more time

And a little more grace

[dirty

Wailing harmonica riding the groove rhythm

Bending into a high

Aching note before dropping back to the pocket]

Whiskey river runnin’ through my veins

Slow roll thunder in the pouring rain

I keep drifting

Drifting

Changing names

But this outlaw heart

Still beats the same

(yeah, it beats the same)

Hat pulled low

As the dawn turns blue

If the law catches up

Tell ’em I slipped through

On a whiskey river

Running wild and rude

Out of sight

Out of mind

Out of view
