I’m just a driftless soul, here I go, lock and load hit the road,
and it don’t matter if I’m ready cuase I got to go,
I stay strapped up, I got my boots tight, I’m fully focused man,
I got my head right, sometimes I feel like a stranger in my own mind,
I’m not a follower, I make my own life,
If its my last night, I hope God lets me in
Tell him I was a good man, tell him I was a good friend,
Some want to see the light, some want to be the thunder,
Some like to play at night, I cant sit back and wonder,
And they won’t know what they got til its all gone,
and God knows Ima ride til Im goin home,
Chorus (Crucifix)
I got the wind at my face, my head at my heels,
its the death deep inside that I just cant kill,
its that good man i just cant be,
theres nothin left in the mirror but a trace of me,
just livin my life, mama taught me wrong from right,
no apologies, i’m all right, livin free,
its just the outlaw in me,
I know Im an outcast, throw me off the wagon,
they label me a problem mama, I don’t know what happened,
Got me draggin round my past I put my middle finger up
Every police that I’m passin harrasin followin my truck,
Said I hung out with them boys on the wrong side of the tracks,
started drinkin started fightin started likin bein bad,
man i only took a drag, now I smoke em by the pack
first the devil graduated, a jesus statue in the back
didnt listen to me did you boy, guess you gotta learn,
like a sign its tryin to tell you tie you up,
but hey its gonna burn
so for everything its worth, Im sorry about my past,
didnt know that things would come to bite me in my ass
