[Verse 1]
Rust on the Chevy
Ash on my jeans
Tire tracks twisting
Through busted-up dreams
Jaw full of gravel
Heart full of fines
I keep on crossing
That broken state line
[Pre-Chorus]
Every badge in my rearview
Every sin in my eyes
Radio preaching redemption
But my hands still lie
[Chorus]
I’m an outlaw in the smoke
In the smoke
Running from the fire in my throat
In my throat
Yeah
The blues in my blood
They don’t wash
They don’t wash (oh no)
When that low bass hits
All the pain just drops
I’m an outlaw in the smoke
Let it drop
Let it drop
[Verse 2]
Neon bar closing
But my rage stays late
Lip tastes of whiskey
Tongue tastes like fate
You said “boy
You’re poison”
Then you took your time
Now your ghost rides shotgun
On this crooked white line
[Pre-Chorus]
Every town got a story
Every scar got a name
I trade my hallelujahs
For a little more flame
[Chorus]
I’m an outlaw in the smoke
In the smoke
Running from the fire in my throat
In my throat
Yeah
The blues in my blood
They don’t wash
They don’t wash (oh no)
When that low bass hits
All the pain just drops
I’m an outlaw in the smoke
Let it drop
Let it drop
[Bridge]
(Slow it down)
If loving you’s a sentence
Then chain me to this night
Your goodbye was the gavel
My heart did life
(Bring it back)
Every mile another memory
Every mile another lie
’Til the sky splits open
And the floor falls out my ride
[Chorus]
I’m an outlaw in the smoke
In the smoke
Running from the fire in my throat
In my throat (hey)
Yeah
The blues in my blood
They don’t wash
They don’t wash
When that low bass hits
All the pain just drops
I’m an outlaw in the smoke
Let it drop
Let it drop
I’m an outlaw in the smoke
Let it drop
Let it drop
