[00:23.73]I get home from a long day
[00:26.50]Put on the radio
[00:29.20]Lookin' for some country soul
[00:31.95]But I don't find it, no
[00:33.35]It's a dirt road free for all
[00:36.64]Some old boys sayin' they're outlaws
[00:39.27]They dress the part and they talk the talk
[00:42.30]You know they've been taught to walk the walk
[00:45.33]These boys think they're tough
[00:47.77]Like they been robbin' banks
[00:50.81]Cause they name drop Johnny Cash
[00:53.84]And they name drop poor old Hank
[00:56.30]-
[00:56.81]Hey pretty boy in the baseball hat
[00:59.40]You couldn't hit country with a baseball bat
[01:02.80]Country ain't just about where you're at
[01:04.72]It's about bein' true to what's inside
[01:06.96]You say you're an outlaw with your perfect boots
[01:09.91]That you got from your record label's image group
[01:12.59]Sing another man's song with a big drum loop
[01:15.36]Listen, son, you ain't got a clue
[01:19.90]You can't buy true
[01:22.95]Tell you what they should do
[01:25.45]They should outlaw you
[01:36.10]-
[01:36.56]Let me paint a picture for you
[01:38.61]Nashville in '62
[01:41.56]The formula had proven true
[01:44.26]They didn't let nothing new through
[01:47.19]When Waylon came to town
[01:49.76]They didn't like his original sound
[01:52.47]They tried hard to keep him down
[01:54.96]They tried hard to starve him out
[01:58.10]But he kept playin' shows and pressin' on
[02:01.20]Chippin' away, song by song
[02:03.85]After years and years of strugglin' strong
[02:06.36]He got his chance and he took it to NO.1
[02:09.33]With "This Time" back in '74
[02:11.84]With his band in the back and 4 on the floor
[02:14.66]That one record busted down the door
[02:17.28]And the record labels had the control no more
[02:20.16]-
[02:20.17]Then in '76 came the Outlaws record
[02:23.70]Sold the first million in country music ever
[02:25.49]Those old boys with long hair and braids
[02:28.13]Stayed true to their sound and freed the slaves
[02:33.50]And all these years later
[02:35.37]The suits got back their grip
[02:38.38]They took the outlaw concept and they re-packaged it
[02:43.70]And there's a million Ol Waylon fans
[02:49.43]Singin' "Don't y'all think this outlaw bit has gotten way out of hand"
[02:55.15]-
[02:55.54]Hey pretty boy in your cowboy hat
[02:57.90]You couldn't hit country with a baseball bat
[03:00.60]Country ain't just about where you're at
[03:03.20]It's about bein' true to what's inside
[03:05.51]You say you're an outlaw with your perfect boots
[03:08.52]That you got from your record label's image group
[03:11.10]Sing another man's song with a big drum loop
[03:14.00]Listen, son, you ain't got a clue
[03:19.21]You can't buy true
[03:21.52]Tell you what they should do
[03:24.11]They should outlaw you
[03:30.06]They should outlaw you
[03:35.82]Hey pretty boy in the baseball hat
[03:36.50]-
[03:38.46]You couldn't hit country with a baseball bat
[03:41.90]Country ain't just about where you're at
[03:43.37]It's about bein' true to what's inside
[03:45.90]You say you're an outlaw with your perfect boots
[03:48.90]That you got from your record label's image group
[03:51.55]Sing another man's song with a big drum loop
[03:54.65]Listen, man, you ain't got a clue
[03:59.52]You can't buy true
[04:04.84]Tell you what they should do
