(Travis Tritt)



I was born a country singer

I love Charley Pride

Raised on 'He Stopped Loving Her'

Cut my teeth on 'Mama Tried'

Yes, I love Hank Wiliams

But I still love rock 'n roll

Hank Jr, me and Waylon,

We're all cut from the same mold

And they say country's changin'

And we must all adjust

But I still think there's lots of room

For old outlaws like us



I love to jam with the Skynyrd band

'Cause 'Freebird' chills my bones

And I've talked trash with Johnny Cash

And I've sung with George Jones

And I have played on the Opry stage

Where the country legends stood

Where you don't give lies or alibis

'Cause they don't do no good

And Lord, I guess, that I've been blessed

Though I have been kicked and cussed

But it's nothing new to moan the blues

For old outlaws like us



And I wear this country banner

And I'm proud to wave the flag

And you can talk all day 'bout the next Billy Ray

But I'll cast my vote for Hag

And when all those screamin' metal bands

Have corroded into rust

There'll still be a show on Music Row

For old outlaws like us



Now, I don't have a crystal ball

To tell what lies ahead

But I play my way, though some folks say

Country rock is dead

And you may call me old-fashioned

You may think I'm insane

But rhythm and blues is in my blood

And pumping through my veins

And I've still got some loyal fans

That I know I can trust

Who will sell their souls for rock 'n roll

And old outlaws like us



Repeat Chorus
