Holler Outlaw (Extended 1)

[Chorus] Stealin’ chickens just to pay my fines

Sneakin’ in the holler where the tough sun shines

Real quiet now, through the mud and thorns

Mountains reachin’ higher, where I’m makin’ my forms

[Post-Chorus] Oh, oh oh, gotta run, gotta hide

Oh, oh oh, on the mountain side

[Verse 2] Moonshiners and the meth-heads, never close their eyes

Up all night watchin’, trust is just a lie

Shotguns loaded, hound dogs barkin’ mean

Can’t believe this backwoods life I lead

[Pre-Chorus] No badge, no mercy, no blue lights in sight

Crooked landowner, time to make it right

[Chorus] Stealin’ chickens just to pay my fines

Sneakin’ in the holler, leavin’ nothin’ behind

Crooked boss cheated, house was rigged tonight

Fed my rooster poison, lost a damn good fight

[Post-Chorus] Oh, oh oh, guns a-blaze, hounds aflame

Oh, oh oh, ain’t takin’ the blame

[Verse 3] Pick the lock on the coop, stackin’ birds in a sack

Sharper than a switchblade hidin’ under my back

Cussin’ like a preacher, bottle in my teeth

Hellfire in my belly, mud up to my knees

[Pre-Chorus] I’ll get even with the bastards, burn their shacks at dawn

Let ‘em chase my shadow, but by dusk I’ll be gone

[Chorus] Stealin’ chickens just to pay my fines

Up in wild timber where the sun barely shines

Boss with his shotgun, hollerin’ my name

Still I laugh, rack another win in this game

[Post-Chorus] Oh, oh oh, runnin’ raw, runnin’ wild

Oh, oh oh, outlaw mountain child

[Outro] Gonna find me a lover at the honky bar

Count my winnings, light up a new cigar

Never lookin’ back, never breakin’ my stride

King of these hills, got nothin’ to hide

[Verse 4] Barbed wire cuttin’ my wrists, better run for my sins

Throw the deadbolt, honey, let the wild kid in

Jars of shine wait on back porch steps

Thunder in my pocket, smellin’ like regret

[Pre-Chorus] Old man whinin’ how he lost it all

Little did he know it was me in the stall

[Chorus] Stealin’ chickens just to pay my fines

Dodgin’ all the curses, crossin’ every line

Cheatin’ at the tables, got that crooked smile

Rowdy in the holler, makin’ it worthwhile

[Post-Chorus] Oh, oh oh, raise the stakes, crack a grin

Oh, oh oh, born to raise some sin

[Tag] So pour another shot, let the outlaws sing

Life’s a dirty gamble when you’re ridin’ for the king
