I was born a country singer I loved Charlie Pride.
D C D
Raised on He Stopped Loving Her cut my teeth on Mama Tried
G
And yes I love Hank Williams, but I still love rock and roll
D
Hank Jr. Me and Waylon were all cut from the same mold
A
And they say country's changing and we must all adjust
Cadd9 G/B Gm/Bb D
but I still think there's lot's of room for old outlaws like us
[Verse]
D
I love to jam with the Skynard band 'cause Freebird chills my bones
D C G D
I've talked trash with Johnny Cash, and I've sung with George Jones
G
And I have played on the Opry stage where country legends stood
D
Where you don't give lies or alibis cause honey that don't do no good
A Asus4 A
And lord I guess I've been blessed though I've been kicked and cussed
Cadd9 G/B Gm/Bb D
But it's nothing new to moan the blues for old outlaws like us
[Chorus]
G
And I wear this country banner I'm proud to wave this flag
D
You can talk all day 'bout the next Billy Ray, but I'll cast my vote for Hag.
A Asus4 A
When all those screamin' metal bands have corroded into rust
Cadd9 G/B Gm/Bb D
There'll still be a show on music row for old outlaws like us
[Verse]
D
I don't have a crystal ball to tell what lies ahead.
D C G D
I've played my way though some folks say country rock is dead.
G
And you may call me old fashioned, you may think I'm insane
D
but rhythm and blues is in my blood and pumping through my veins
A Asus4 A
And still got some loyal fans that I know I can trust
Cadd9 G/B Gm/Bb D
who'll sell their soul for rock and roll and old Outlaws like us
[Chorus]
G
And I wear this country banner I'm proud to wave this flag
D
You can talk all day 'bout the next Billy Ray, but I'll cast my vote for Hag.
A Asus4 A
When all those screamin' metal bands have corroded into rust
Cadd9 G/B Gm/Bb D
There'll still be a show on music row for old outlaws like us
