Bad Time To Be An Outlaw Lyrics by The Bottle Rockets

Bit Logic

0

[Verse 1]
Outlaw country, that's my gig
This kinda music don't make it big
But when cotton's tall, it's outta sight
To know you're doin' something right
But it's a bad time to be an outlaw
It's a bad time to be an outlaw
[Verse 2]
See my car it broke, my furnace broke
My A/C broke, my telephone broke
And all them things they cost big bucks
My music's good but my income sucks
It's a bad time to be an outlaw
It's a bad time to be an outlaw
[Verse 3]
That Nashville Pop, it's not my deal
Even though that cash flow's real
But these days "What Would Waylon Do?"
Don't make much money – sad but true
It's a bad time to be an outlaw
It's a bad time to be an outlaw
[Chorus 1]
Bad time to be an outlaw
(Bad time to be an outlaw)
I'm proud that it's my callin' card
But not so much when times are hard
It's a bad time to be an outlaw
(Bad time to be an outlaw)
[Verse 4]
Don't get me wrong: I love what I do
And I couldn't even change it if I wanted to
But random selection of the universe
Has got me think my job's a curse
It's a bad time to be an outlaw
It's a bad time to be an outlaw
[Chorus 2]
Bad time to be an outlaw
(Bad time to be an outlaw)
Mad at my integrity
As I go in debt for HVAC
It's a bad time to be an outlaw
(Bad time to be an outlaw)
[Chorus 3]
It's a bad time to be an outlaw
(Bad time to be an outlaw)
Carrie Underwood don't make country sound
But she can afford it when shit breaks down
It's a bad time to be an outlaw
(Bad time to be an outlaw)
[Chorus 4]
It's a bad time to be an outlaw
(Bad time to be an outlaw)
I'm glad I ain't no Thomas Rhett
Just 'cause them bills ain't came in yet
It's a bad time to be an outlaw
(Bad time to be an outlaw)
[Outro]
It's a bad time to be an outlaw
(Bad time to be an outlaw)
It's a bad time to be an outlaw
(Bad time to be an outlaw)
It's a bad time (Bad time)
It's a bad time to be an outlaw
