Depends On the Eyes You're Lookin' Through (Outlaw Country)

Verse 1

Barbed wire horizons, dust devils spinning by the old pine

Voices on the radio say men like us walk a crooked line

But we built these towns with calloused hands and open hearts

Ain't afraid to stand our ground, even when the daylight parts

Pre-Chorus

Mama raised us honest but the world calls us fools

We break a few fences chasing down what’s true

Chorus

Are we outlaws, it depends on what eyes you're lookin' through

Some call us trouble, some call us savin' grace for a few

Jesus was a stranger too, called outlaw by the chosen crew

He was Love and he was Truth, we're not Him but we try to walk it true

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, keep on walkin' that line

Oh, oh, keep on choosing what's right

Verse 2

Got mud on my boots and scars on my name

If standing up for the broken hearted makes me to blame

I’ll keep raising my glass, I won’t bow my head in shame

We ain't the Savior, but we're reaching for something that remains

Pre-Chorus

Fire in our chest, burdens we ain't gonna lose

Trying to find the good road, living by a harder truth

Chorus

Are we outlaws, it depends on what eyes you're lookin' through

Some call us trouble, some call us savin' grace for a few

Jesus was a stranger too, called outlaw by the chosen crew

He was Love and he was Truth, we're not Him but we try to walk it true

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, keep on walkin' that line

Oh, oh, keep on choosing what's right

Bridge

So let 'em judge from their porches and silver screens

We ain't chasing halos, just living somewhere in between

If loving loud and standing firm marks us with blame

We'll tip our hats, grit our teeth, and do it all the same

Chorus

Are we outlaws, it depends on what eyes you’re lookin’ through

Some call us trouble, some call us savin’ grace for a few

Jesus was a stranger too, called outlaw by the chosen crew

He was Love and he was Truth, we’re not Him but we try to walk it true

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, keep on walkin’ that line

Oh, oh, keep on choosing what’s right

Oh, oh, keep on walkin’ that line

Oh, oh, keep on choosing what’s right

Outro

Cattle rustle thunder far down the county road

Truth rides shotgun with us wherever we go

If they paint us in shadows, let 'em talk all night

We'll sing it out raw, no apology in sight

Post-Chorus

Oh, oh, grit and stubborn pride

Oh, oh, we won't run or hide
