Outlaw Family Trails

(wheeew) (hummmm) I kept my hand upon the iron frame

A heavy shadow chasing down my name

Every county line I crossed was drawn in red

Living by the rules of what the pistol said

But the desert gets cold when you run alone

And a cold iron piece

never made a home

Now I'm an outlaw

who became an inlaw

Traded the bullet

for a baby's cry

Down in Austin Texas

we built a kingdom

Underneath that big

southern sky

Still got the scars upon my leather boot

But I don't look for reasons left to shoot

I plant my feet in this dark Austin clay

And watch my children chase the ghosts away

Yes I'm an outlaw who became an

inlaw

Traded the bullet

for a baby's cry

Down in Austin Texas

we built a kingdom

Underneath that big

southern sky

Still an outlaw at heart

But I'm home in Austin tonight (hummmm)
