Title: Outlaw Miles
(Verse 1)
Black smoke risin’, tires hummin’ low
Two-lane whisper where the wild winds blow
Got a coffee gone cold and a restless soul
Chasin’ that line where the map don’t go
White lines blur, and the night don’t care
CB cracklin’ like a midnight prayer
Ain’t no clock gonna tell me when
An outlaw rolls or where he’s been
(Pre-Chorus)
They got rules on paper, ink on a page
But the road’s been mine since a younger age
(Chorus)
Outlaw trucking, yeah I ride my way
Fuck a log book, I don’t punch no day
Steel horse runnin’ till the break of dawn
You don’t know this life if you ain’t been gone
Gotta be an outlaw just to understand
Dust in your veins and diesel in your hands
Ain’t no badge, ain’t no crown, just miles I miss
You gotta be an outlaw to know what an outlaw is
(Verse 2)
Weigh station lights like a judge’s eye
But I keep on rollin’, don’t ask me why
Got a family waitin’ past them hills
And a pocket full of broken bills
Every mile’s a gamble, every turn a bet
Every sunset’s one I ain’t seen yet
Got scars from roads that don’t exist
And ghosts ridin’ in the morning mist
(Pre-Chorus)
They can write their laws, draw their lines in sand
But freedom don’t fit in a government plan
(Chorus)
Outlaw trucking, yeah I ride my way
Fuck a log book, I don’t punch no day
Steel horse runnin’ till the break of dawn
You don’t know this life if you ain’t been gone
Gotta be an outlaw just to understand
Dust in your veins and diesel in your hands
Ain’t no badge, ain’t no crown, just miles I miss
You gotta be an outlaw to know what an outlaw is
(Bridge)
Ain’t no glory in the grind I live
Just the road takin’ more than it gives
But I wouldn’t trade it for a safer lane
This rebel heart don’t run on chains
(Breakdown)
Hammer down, let the engine scream
This ain’t a job, it’s a damn disease
You either got it or you don’t, my friend
And once you’re in, there ain’t no end
(Final Chorus)
Outlaw trucking, yeah I ride my way
Fuck a log book, I don’t punch no day
Steel horse runnin’ till the wheels fall off
Through the heat, through the rain, through the bitter frost
Gotta be an outlaw just to understand
Dust in your veins and diesel in your hands
No regrets, no chains, just the road I kiss
You gotta be an outlaw to know what an outlaw is
(Outro)
Yeah…
Just a ghost in the headlights’ glow…
If you know… you know…
