This song was written from the perspective of someone growing older and their struggle to hang on to younger years. Making a comparison between this fight to hang on and the Outlaws of the Old West struggle to stay alive in a changing and modernizing world.
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
There’s a place I know where we all go
Down a gravel road, well gather round a blue hole
You’ll find us there most every night
We can do whatever you want to
So grab a seat and we’ll play a Waylon Song for you… or two
(Pre-Chorus)
We don’t fight we just like having fun
Living life like we’re outlaws on the run
(Chorus)
Way out on a back road, tackle box and a fishin’ pole
Made me who I am
A Duck Blind and a bone fire, sexy legs In the summertime
Set me on fire
We don’t fight we just like having fun
Living life like we’re outlaws on the run
(Verse 2)
You know the say that ole’ Jesse James always got his way
But those were the golden days… and they ain’t coming back
‘Cause in the modem world the outlaws gone
There’s no place to roam, Juries call and Verdicts fall
(Pre-Chorus)
Well if your not sure know that we all see
This life is short you better live it like me
(Repeat Chorus)
(Guitar Solo)
(Bridge)
So tie a ribbon around that old oak tree
All are welcome let’s live wild and free
(Repeat Chorus)
