[Intro]
If drinkin’ was a felony, I'd be doin’ time,
Lock me up, throw away the keys, in a cell of moonshine.
Got a rebel’s heart, in a southern drawl,
Livin’ on the edge, never gonna fall.
[Verse 1]
Boots on the porch, sunset's glow,
Whiskey’s my friend, everywhere I go.
County line’s a border, where my troubles start,
Ain't no law can tame this outlaw’s heart.
[Pre-Chorus]
If they say I gotta pay, for my midnight cheer,
I'll serve my sentence, with a grin and a beer.
No parole from this, wild and free,
Dancin’ with the devil, just my destiny.
[Chorus]
If drinkin’ was a felony, I’d be doin’ time,
In a prison of laughter and old moonshine.
Lock me up in the trouble, throw away the key,
Ain't no jail cell gonna hold this rebel me.
[Verse 2]
Barstool judge, with a crooked smile,
Sentenced to a life of wild style.
Southern nights, and the stars above,
This outlaw's curse, and this outlaw's love.
[Pre-Chorus]
If they try to hold me back, I won’t comply,
Gonna break free for one more shot, I testify.
No chain too strong, no wall too high,
Freedom’s drink, and I ain’t gonna lie.
[Chorus]
If drinkin’ was a felony, I’d be doin’ time,
In a prison of laughter and old moonshine.
Lock me up in the trouble, throw away the key,
Ain't no jail cell gonna hold this rebel me.
[Bridge]
Grit and gravel, soul and fire,
Live my life with no backslide or tire.
Outlaw heart, forever will roam,
In this southern land, I’ve made my home.
[Outro]
So if they come knockin', with their handcuffs in sight,
Tell ’em I’m guilty, every single night.
Cause a rebel’s life is meant to be free,
Doin’ time? No, just livin’ wild and carefree.
