Everybody Wants To Be An Outlaw

from Song Seeds by James Tristan Redding

lyrics

Everybody want to be an outlaw
Skippin’ town and ridin’ on the rails
Livin’ on the run with a guitar and a gun
Some kinda’ whiskey drinkin’ fairytale
Blood and dirt beneath their fingernails
Dreamin’ of a girl in a long black veil
By the sound a lonely nightingale
Chasin’ a free world that’s been long gone
Everybody want to be an outlaw
