Renegade Rides Again

(album: Baptized In Bourbon - 2017)

So there he goes, the renegade rides again
God knows he tried to fight it but sometimes the Devil wins
And yeah he knows it ain't about [?]
The life he's living catches up to him
Still the renegade rides again

Truck rolls up, who can it be
He's in a blacked out fresh Ford 350
He rolled down the window, he inhaled the night
Glanced in the mirror and he saw blue lights
Sheriff pulled him over, had his plates unmarked
Said his tires too big and his tint too dark
His kickers too loud but that cop's too old
'Cause he didn't see the pistol hidden in his console
[?] thumb in wind
Hitchhike six miles through the Red Roof Inn
Drinking bourbon with the locals in a mountain bar
Old wooden shuffleboard, old Lincoln Town Car
Windows rolled down, big clouds of smoke
He never look back up a one lane road
He's a drifter, he's a gypsy, he's a renegade
Only thing he regrets is a risk he don't take

So there he goes, the renegade rides again
God knows he tried to fight it but sometimes the Devil wins
And yeah he knows it ain't about [?]
The life he's living catches up to him
Still the renegade rides again

[?] renegade rolling to the next town
Lord on his shoulders, he's don't wanna die a letdown
He gon' see the grave 'fore he ever take a step down
He gon' pick a pride 'fore he ever lay his head down
He's dad told him, "Boy, you better go get paid"
And his mama said, "Son, you were the hell I raised"
His old lady told him that it's time to slow down
'Cause his kids are at home and they want him back around
Ain't too many stars but a few on his hands
Ain't too many bars that he hasn't be banned
It's a love hate story of the life he lead
Looked him dead in the eyes and this is what he said
"I'ma rolling stoned, I live for the road
A gust in the wind, a desperado
I know it's hard to swallow
'Cause the line I walk is hard to follow"

So there he goes, the renegade rides again
God knows he tried to fight it but sometimes the Devil wins
And yeah he knows it ain't about [?]
The life he's living catches up to him
Still the renegade rides again

There he goes, the renegade rides again
God knows he tried to fight it but sometimes the Devil wins
And yeah he knows it ain't about [?]
The life he's living catches up to him
Still the renegade rides again
