The Outlaw Creed

When the sun comes up on an endless night and a woman with a vacant bed

Cause you danced with the snakes that rattle inside your head

And your search for bright clean answers comes screaming through bloodshot eyes

Take pity on the rabbit who hears the eagle cry

Then you’re ready for a lesson you should have already learned

Quit drinking firewater on the bridges that you’ve burned

Make peace with your angel she has a strength you may need

She can break you softly follow the outlaw creed

Don’t ever spite a woman unless you plan to run

The distance you must travel correlates to what you’ve done

Trust the feelings in your stomach and wash your knuckles when they bleed

Son kill your own snakes that’s the outlaw creed

That’s the outlaw creed

Go looking for the children playing in the shallow creeks

Listen to them closely when they take the time to speak

Words so sweet and simple they cut right to the quick

Take them to your angel and try to make them stick

Don’t ever spite a woman unless you plan to run

The distance you must travel correlates to what you’ve done

Trust the feelings in your stomach and wash your knuckles when they bleed

Son kill your own snakes that’s the outlaw creed

That’s the outlaw creed

Oh yeah that’s the outlaw creed
