"Leave the Outlaw Life Behind"
(Verse 1)
I’ve been running for so long, the road’s turned to dust,
Trading my soul for the shine of the unjust.
The man in the mirror, he’s tired and worn,
What have I been teaching my sons since the day they were born?
(Pre-Chorus)
The weight of my choices cuts deeper than the blade,
The price of this outlaw life’s too high to be paid.
(Chorus)
I’m ready to leave the outlaw life behind,
To trade these sins for a peace I can’t find.
Do God’s will, be the man they deserve,
Raise my boys with love, give them the world.
These songs of my pain, my stories in rhyme,
Will wash away my past in God’s good time.
(Verse 2)
The nights were too cold, the whiskey ran dry,
Living for the thrill, but it all feels like a lie.
Every scar on my hands, every tear on my face,
Is a map of regrets I can’t seem to erase.
(Pre-Chorus)
But I see their eyes, and I know there’s still hope,
A father’s redemption’s the hardest road to walk.
(Chorus)
I’m ready to leave the outlaw life behind,
To trade these sins for a peace I can’t find.
Do God’s will, be the man they deserve,
Raise my boys with love, give them the world.
These songs of my pain, my stories in rhyme,
Will wash away my past in God’s good time.
(Bridge)
No more running, no more lies,
I’ll lay down my guns and lift my eyes.
Trading shame for salvation’s light,
My boys will know their daddy’s fight.
(Chorus)
I’m ready to leave the outlaw life behind,
To trade these sins for a peace I can’t find.
Do God’s will, be the man they deserve,
Raise my boys with love, give them the world.
These songs of my pain, my stories in rhyme,
Will wash away my past in God’s good time.
(Outro)
One step at a time, I’ll walk this line,
With God’s grace, I’ll make it right in time.
No more shadows, no more crime,
I’ll leave the outlaw life behind.
