Outlaws
Outlaws of a Bygone Era: Embracing Grit, Freedom, and a Vanishing Way of Life
Lyrics
Back in my day we never fret about the small stuff
Reflecting on a time when small issues weren't a cause for concern.
I never cared much to bitch or complain
Expressing a lack of interest in complaining or whining.
Made the best of what we got it wasn't much
Making the most of limited resources.
Unlike the softer generations of today
Comparing the toughness of the past generations to today's softer ones.
Our nights were spent out runnin around we were outlaws
Describing a rebellious and adventurous past, being outlaws.
I never backed down to no one still won't today
Emphasizing a refusal to yield to others, a persistent attitude.
Weren't afraid of a little dirt or sweat we were built tough
Highlighting resilience and fearlessness in the face of challenges.
We were living and raisin hell our own way
Living a rebellious life and causing trouble in their own way.
The new bloods getting younger
Observing the new generation becoming younger.
While the old keep getting older
Noting the aging process of the older generation.
I hope what we built remains the same
Expressing a desire for the values they built to persist.
Our time here's gettin shorter
Acknowledging the limited time they have left.
And there's less and less of us here
Noticing a decline in the number of people from their time.
Raise your glass to the outlaws that still remain
Toasting to the enduring spirit of the remaining outlaws.
Raise your glass to the outlaws that still remain
Reiteration of raising a glass to the surviving outlaws.
Back in those years things were so much simpler
Reflecting on a simpler time in the past.
We settled our problems with our bare fists
Recalling a time when problems were solved with physical strength.
No need for political correctness we weren't thin skinned
Rejecting the need for political correctness and sensitivity.
Man these are odd times that we are living in
Commenting on the unusual and confusing nature of the present times.
It's so different now so damn confusing
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.
Man ain't a man a woman a woman
Questioning the blurring of gender roles and lack of national pride.
No pride or respect for the nation that we live in
Feeling like a fading representation of a bygone era.
I guess I'm a dying breed from the past
Identifying with an older generation and its values.
The new bloods getting younger
Observing the new generation becoming younger.
While the old keep getting older
Noting the aging process of the older generation.
I hope what we built remains the same
Expressing a desire for the values they built to persist.
Our time here's gettin shorter
Acknowledging the limited time they have left.
And there's less and less of us here
Noticing a decline in the number of people from their time.
Raise your glass to the outlaws that still remain
Toasting to the enduring spirit of the remaining outlaws.
Raise your glass to the outlaws that still remain
Reiteration of raising a glass to the surviving outlaws.
You can say that I'm getting old and little onry
Acknowledging the perception of getting old and irritable.
But I think times were better back then
Believing that the past was a better time.
I'm sick of the whining and complaining
Expressing frustration with contemporary complaints.
It'll take a lake of whiskey to handle that
Humorously suggesting a significant amount of alcohol is needed to tolerate the complaints.
The new bloods getting younger
Observing the new generation becoming younger.
While the old keep getting older
Noting the aging process of the older generation.
I hope what we built remains the same
Expressing a desire for the values they built to persist.
Our time here's gettin shorter
Acknowledging the limited time they have left.
And there's less and less of us here
Noticing a decline in the number of people from their time.
Raise your glass to the outlaws that still remain
Toasting to the enduring spirit of the remaining outlaws.
Raise your glass to the outlaws that still remain
Reiteration of raising a glass to the surviving outlaws.
Raise your glass to the outlaws that still remain
Final toast to the enduring spirit of the remaining outlaws.
