Outlaw Songs
Embracing Outlaw Spirit: Defying Norms Through Music
Lyrics
Grew up on Waylon Jennings, Mr. Willie Nelson
Grew up with the influence of Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.
I swam through that whiskey river
Experienced the culture associated with the whiskey river mentioned in Willie Nelson's song.
Fore I's old enough to have some
Engaged in the outlaw lifestyle before reaching the appropriate age.
Mama tried to raise me the best way that she could
Mother tried to raise the speaker in the best way possible.
But I took more to them outlaw songs
Identified more with outlaw songs than the upbringing.
So I'm gonna be an outlaw too
Expressing the decision to embrace the outlaw lifestyle.
I don't drink Coca-Cola
Rejecting mainstream choices, such as Coca-Cola.
Ain't no holy roller
Not adhering to a strict religious or moral path.
I drink Colorado Kool-Aid
Preference for unconventional choices like Colorado Kool-Aid.
Them Mountains can't be bluer
Appreciation for the natural beauty of the Colorado mountains.
I don't know much, but I know this
Acknowledging limited knowledge but asserting the truth of the statement.
You know that it's true
Reiteration of the truthfulness of the speaker's convictions.
I grew up on them outlaw songs
Reaffirming the influence and upbringing through outlaw songs.
So I'm gonna be an outlaw too
Commitment to adopting the outlaw identity.
You'll never see me worry
Claiming resilience and lack of worry.
And you'll never see me cry
Asserting emotional strength and resilience.
I'll never have no problems cuz a country boy can survive
Expressing confidence and self-reliance as a country boy.
And I'm still praying for forgiveness
Acknowledging the need for forgiveness for past actions.
For all the wrong that I do
Expressing remorse and accountability for mistakes.
But as long as there's still outlaw songs
Stating the commitment to the outlaw lifestyle despite wrongs.
I'm gonna be an outlaw too
Reiterating the determination to be an outlaw as long as outlaw songs exist.
One day my teacher asked me
Recalling a conversation with a teacher about future plans.
What you gonna do some day
Question from the teacher about the speaker's aspirations.
I said I'll make a lot of money
Expressing the intention to make a living from music.
Off this music that I play, he said
Teacher's discouragement from pursuing a career in music.
Son listen closely, that's just not the job for you
Ignoring the teacher's advice and following the outlaw path.
But I listened to them outlaw songs
Reaffirming the influence of outlaw songs in defying conventional norms.
And this outlaw says screw you
Defiance against the teacher's advice and embracing the outlaw identity.
No, you'll never see me worry
Reiteration of resilience and emotional strength.
And you'll never see me cry
Asserting confidence and emotional stability.
I'll never have no problems cuz a country boy can survive
Confidence in overcoming challenges as a country boy.
And I'm still praying for forgiveness
Continued acknowledgment of the need for forgiveness.
For all the wrong that I do
Expressing remorse and accountability for ongoing wrongs.
But as long as there's still outlaw songs
Commitment to the outlaw identity despite past and present mistakes.
I'm gonna be an outlaw too
Reiterating the determination to be an outlaw as long as outlaw songs exist.
You'll never see me worry
Reaffirming resilience and lack of worry.
And you'll never see me cry
Reiterating emotional strength and stability.
I'll never have no problems cuz a country boy can survive
Confidence in overcoming challenges as a country boy.
And I'm still praying for forgiveness
Continued acknowledgment of the need for forgiveness.
For all the wrong that I do
Expressing remorse and accountability for ongoing wrongs.
But as long as there's still outlaw songs
Commitment to the outlaw identity despite past and present mistakes.
I'm gonna be an outlaw too
Reiterating the determination to be an outlaw as long as outlaw songs exist.
