Outlaws Never Die

(album: The Whiskey Never Dries - 2019)

Have a smoke, have a beer
Keep the whiskey pouring here
And when I leave
Please don't say goodbye
Yeah they're always going to remember me
'Cause outlaws never die
Never die

It's all hole-in-the-walls, always playing [?]
'Cause TV was too scared and so was the radio
We did it for our brothers that have came and gone
But we can't say goodbye 'cause their legacy lives on
The highways are long so the memories fade
White lines wash away when the skies are gray
From dive bar saloons to the hotel rooms
Gone April to June but I'll be home soon
It's been three months straight with no time for breaks
Been living off whiskey and steak [?]
And these bus bunks are small, plane rides are bumpy
But the bourbon in my glass still keeps me company
And this paper and pens been my damn best friend
So we remember these times and relive 'em again
All the hell we raised, all the stories we [?]
So outlaws don't die on Judgment Day

Have a smoke, have a beer
Keep the whiskey pouring here
And when I leave
Please don't say goodbye
Yeah they're always going to remember me
'Cause outlaws never die
Never die

Yeah they said that I'd be haunted with regrets
Living on the highway
And those words I never ever could forget
When I grabbed a hold of my reins
And now they sing the songs we wrote across the lands
Now we've broken all of their chains
And when they lay me down I know that I'll live on
Like the legends gone before me
(Gone before me, yeah)

Have a smoke, have a beer
Keep the whiskey pouring here
And when I leave
Please don't say goodbye
Yeah they're always going to remember me
'Cause outlaws never die
Never die

Another round for that broken road
It fixes all the holes in this outlaw's old broken soul
I found my way to where the hopeless go
To raise a glass to the ones who said "hell yeah" when they told us no
We never buckled under pressure, folk
Just pressing harder, turn the heat up, never catch a cold
And towed a heavy load, you never heard me bitch about it
Just talk about the past and laugh and reminisce about it
Singing 'bout the sorrows with the hopes of a tomorrow
How I never gave back all the love she let me borrow
Heartaches over honky-tonk, followed by a "yee-yee"
Let the song play, could be the last [?] you see me

Have a smoke, have a beer
Keep the whiskey pouring here
And when I leave
Please don't say goodbye
Yeah they're always going to remember me
'Cause outlaws never die
(Outlaws) Never die

(Keep the whiskey pouring here
And when I leave
Please don't say goodbye
Yeah they're always going to remember me
'Cause outlaws never die)
