Y'all Emhave a nice day as we make our way to the GCaddy in the Dsus2ally out Emback
See when the Emtimes get hard some good old boys turn to a life a GsinDsus2

[Verse 2]
Well, I Emgrew up singing Amazing Grace in a little white church in the GwoodsDsus2  
My Emmomma prayed hard for all her boys but her Gpraying didn't Dsus2do a bit of gEmood
The Emsheriff and, a banker man, came to push us off of our GlandDsus2  
Now we're Emsix feet deep and my brothers and me we can Gnever go Dhome agEmain
[Chorus]
CLord forGgive me, I Dknow just what I Emdo
I'll take Cwhat I need and Gthen I leave the Drest to my momma and Emyou
And that Ctin roof cabin might Gnot have been heaven but it's Dcloser than I've ever Embeen
                     C                   G   B7N.C.
God bless an outlaw's weary soul, I can never go home again

SomeEmtimes I dream of that old front porch and my momma patching up a GquiltDsus2  
While my Embrothers and me lay around in the shade of that Glive oak Dsus2tree on the Emhill
Now it's Emhide-out shacks better watch your back, and cover every track of where you've GbeenDsus2  
A Emthousand wrongs will never make it right, I can Gnever go Dhome agEmain

I'll take Cwhat I need and Gthen I leave the Drest to my momma and Emyou
And that Ctin roof cabin might Gnot have been heaven but it's Dcloser than I've ever Embeen

EmScatter gun blast tears a ten inch hole through an empty burlap GsackDsus2  
As I sEmay my peace for my brothers and me as my B7whole world fades to Emblack
Here's Emthree new graves underneath the shade of that live oak tree on the GhillDsus2  
OverEmlooking momma's porch with a fresh coat of paint and a B7shiny new Coup De VillEme

I've been Cthrough hell and Gfound myself on Dthe wrong end of a guEmn
And that Ctin roof cabin might Gnot have been heaven but it's Dcloser than I've ever Embeen
God Cbless an outlaw's Gweary soul, I thought I'd Dnever make it home agEmain
God Cbless an outlaw's Gweary soul, I guess I B7finally made it home again
