lyrics

Been riding this here trail of longer days
Since the moon and sun witnessed my get away
Well a pearl of note for you to while
Over some decrees there are no trials
And I see your devil crack a smile

Outlaw, they call me and outlaw
But you know I only did what I had to do
Outlaw, oh you know they had it coming
Shouldn’t have done messed with what our momma grew

Low I slipped from ship to town
They shot my horse in ‘frisco and I swore a bloody vow
But for a tit for a tat they have popped their caps
Until some mother’s daughters and sons won’t write back
And they buried all the cash where the whip won’t crack

It’s a fool’s prize that will trick the rat’s to race
From the moment we were born we have all been the same slave
Oh I drag ya I drag ya (you drag me you drag me)
Oh you drag me you drag me (I drag ya I drag ya)
Now we drag out our dragons (drag out our dragons)
Oh but they already had us (but we ain’t got no traction)
Thinking the other one’s a bad one (but they already had us)
Well a flower in dirt for the few I’ve hurt
But they would play a game
So they will take their turn
Rolling bones where the mountain lifts her skirt
