Never in His Back

Chorus

Never stab an outlaw in his back

He may ride alone but he’s never slack

Trust is the gold a cowboy stacks

Never stab an outlaw in his back

Post-Chorus

Whoa oh, whoa oh

Whoa oh, never in his back

Verse 2

He keeps his word, rides straight and true

Made of dust and dreams and worn-out boots

If you shake his hand, you do it face to face

There’s no honor in the sneaky ways

Pre-Chorus

A man’s gotta look you in the eye

Ain’t no shortcut on that old wild ride

Chorus

Never stab an outlaw in his back

He may ride alone but he’s never slack

Trust is the gold a cowboy stacks

Never stab an outlaw in his back

Post-Chorus

Whoa oh, whoa oh

Whoa oh, never in his back

Bridge

Out on the plains where the legends grow

Reputation’s earned in the open, slow

You draw your line and you stand up tall

A true outlaw don’t betray at all

Verse 3

Moon hanging low over restless land

He lives by code, not by demand

A man’s word is the saddle he rides

Ain’t trading that for any easy lies

Chorus

Never stab an outlaw in his back

He may ride alone but he’s never slack

Trust is the gold a cowboy stacks

Never stab an outlaw in his back

Post-Chorus

Whoa oh, whoa oh

Whoa oh, never in his back
