Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got out of Hand
Outlaw Reflections: When the Law Misunderstands the Song
Lyrics
I'm for the law and order the way it should be
I support law and order as it should be.
This song's about the night they spent protecting you from me
The song recounts the night law enforcement protected people from the narrator.
Someone called us outlaws in some old magazine
They were labeled outlaws in a magazine.
And New York sent a posse down like I ain't ever seen
A posse from New York was sent, an unprecedented event for the narrator.
Don't you think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand
Expresses concern that the outlaw lifestyle has escalated.
What started out to be a joke the law don't understand
Originally a joke, the law doesn't comprehend the situation.
Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man
Reflects on whether his distinctive singing style led to legal trouble.
Maybe this here outlaw bit's done got out of hand out of hand
Suggests that the outlaw lifestyle may have spiraled out of control.
We was wrapped up in our music that's why we never saw
They were immersed in music and unaware of approaching law enforcement.
The car pulls up the boys get out and the room fills up with law
Law enforcement arrives, filling the room and disrupting the performance.
They came boundin' through the backdoor in the middle of my song
The authorities enter forcefully during the song.
They got me for possession for something that was gone long gone
Arrested for possession of something that no longer exists.
Don't y'all think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand
Reiterates concern that the outlaw lifestyle has gone too far.
What started out to be a joke the law don't understand
Repeats the idea that the law doesn't comprehend the situation.
Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man
Questions if his singing style contributed to legal troubles.
Maybe this here outlaw bit's done got out of hand
Reiterates the suggestion that the outlaw lifestyle may have escalated beyond control.
Don't y'all think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand out of hand
Emphasizes the belief that the outlaw lifestyle has spiraled out of hand.
