[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots
Red clay on my name
Daddy kept a pistol
Mama kept the shame
Gravel in the driveway
Gravestones on the hill
Uncles in the chain gang
Cousins in the will
[Chorus]
Outsiders and outlaws
We were raised on the wrong side
Cutthroat in a necktie
Sunday suit, but the soul cried
Roots tangled round gravestones
Born crooked in the floodlight
Outsiders and outlaws
I’m still walkin’ that rough line (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Courtroom on a Monday
Church pew by the night
Judge knew my granddad
Preacher knew the fight
Whiskey in the Bible
Poker in the pew
Blues man on the corner
Bleeding out the truth
[Chorus]
Outsiders and outlaws
We were raised on the wrong side
Cutthroat in a necktie
Sunday suit, but the soul cried
Roots tangled round gravestones
Born crooked in the floodlight
Outsiders and outlaws
I’m still walkin’ that rough line
[Bridge]
Boot prints through the kudzu
Gun oil on my hands
Bloodline like a bar song
Carryin’ every man
[Chorus]
Outsiders and outlaws
We were raised on the wrong side
Cutthroat in a necktie
Sunday suit, but the soul cried
Roots tangled round gravestones
Born crooked in the floodlight
Outsiders and outlaws
I’m still walkin’ that rough line (yeah)
