So your boots, theyre old and dusty & lying down on the floor
And a candlelight, its burnin outside your door
And youre gonna keep staying single, man, you never stayed to long
And that highways gonna kill you before too long
Chorus:
Cause youre always out runnin, tryin to get by
You never even noticed how hard that she tried
Smokin away those nighttimes, drinkin away your days
Its all gonna catch up to you one of these days
Just a modern day outlaw runnin with the wind
Find you a good heart and youll shoot it down again
Well youre just a sad song on another rainy day playing on your radio
Said an outlaws life, man, its no place for a girl
You keep a picture in your wallet and you lock her outside your world
And shes waiting by telephone but you never call
And shes screamin at your picture, you never could at all
Chorus
Now youre drivin down that freeway and you aint got far to go
And you thinkin while youre speedin man, that you might give her a call
But your voice, it starts to crack, you try to say hello
Yeah, you broke her heart so many times, you gotta let her go, you gotta let her go
Chorus
Youre just a broken dream when youre stereo plays
Youre just a sad song on that somehow got away playing on your radio
Youre just a sad song on another rainy day playing on your radio
And a candlelight, its burnin outside your door
And youre gonna keep staying single, man, you never stayed to long
And that highways gonna kill you before too long
Chorus:
Cause youre always out runnin, tryin to get by
You never even noticed how hard that she tried
Smokin away those nighttimes, drinkin away your days
Its all gonna catch up to you one of these days
Just a modern day outlaw runnin with the wind
Find you a good heart and youll shoot it down again
Well youre just a sad song on another rainy day playing on your radio
Said an outlaws life, man, its no place for a girl
You keep a picture in your wallet and you lock her outside your world
And shes waiting by telephone but you never call
And shes screamin at your picture, you never could at all
Chorus
Now youre drivin down that freeway and you aint got far to go
And you thinkin while youre speedin man, that you might give her a call
But your voice, it starts to crack, you try to say hello
Yeah, you broke her heart so many times, you gotta let her go, you gotta let her go
Chorus
Youre just a broken dream when youre stereo plays
Youre just a sad song on that somehow got away playing on your radio
Youre just a sad song on another rainy day playing on your radio
