Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit's Done Got Out of Hand
Outlaw's Lament: When Music Meets the Long Arm of the Law
Lyrics
I'm for the law and order the way that it should be
I support law and order as it should be.
This song's about the night they spent protecting you from me
This song recounts a night when law enforcement protected others from the singer.
Someone called us outlaws in some old magazine
Some publication referred to us as outlaws.
New York sent a posse down like I ain't ever seen
New York sent an unusually large group of law enforcement after me.
Don't you think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand?
Isn't this outlaw persona becoming uncontrollable?
What started out to be a joke the law don't understand
Initially meant as a joke, but law enforcement doesn’t perceive it that way.
Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man?
Wondering if my distinct singing style attracted unwanted attention from authorities.
Maybe this here outlaw bit's done got out of hand, out of hand
Perhaps this outlaw identity has spiraled out of control.
We were wrapped up in our music that's why we never saw
We were engrossed in our music, unaware of approaching law enforcement.
Cars pull up, the boys get out and the room fills up with law
Police arrived, filling the space with officers.
They came boundin' through the backdoor in the middle of a song
Law enforcement rushed in during a performance.
They got me for possession of something that was gone, long gone
I was arrested for possessing something that was no longer in my possession.
Don't you think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand?
Isn't this outlaw persona becoming uncontrollable?
What started out to be a joke the law don't understand
Initially meant as a joke, but law enforcement doesn’t perceive it that way.
Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man? Oh Lord
Wondering if my distinct singing style attracted unwanted attention from authorities. Oh Lord.
Maybe this here outlaw bit's done got out of hand
Perhaps this outlaw identity has spiraled out of control.
Don't you think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand, out of hand?
Isn't this outlaw persona becoming uncontrollable?
