[Verse 1]
Em G Dsus2
Scatter gun blast, hands in the air, half a million in a burlap sack
Em G Dsus2 Em
Y'all have a nice day as we make our way to the Caddy in the ally out back
Em G Dsus2
See when the times get hard some good old boys turn to a life a sin
Em B7 Em
We're like Robin Hood, we're just twice as good but we can never go home again
[Verse 2]
Em G Dsus2
Well I grew up singing Amazing Grace in a little white church in the woods
Em G Dsus2 Em
My momma prayed hard for all her boys but her praying didn't do a bit of good
Em G Dsus2
The sheriff and a banker man came to push us off of our land
Em B7 Em
Now we're six feet deep and my brothers and me we can never go home again
[Chorus]
C G D Em
Lord forgive me, I know just what I do
C G D Em
I'll take what I need and then I leave the rest to my momma and you
C G D Em
And that tin roof cabin might not have been heaven but it's closer than I've ever been
C G B7 Em
God bless an outlaw's weary soul, I can never go home again
[Verse 3]
Em G Dsus2
Sometimes I dream of that old front porch and my momma patching up a quilt
Em G Dsus2 Em
While my brothers and me lay around in the shade of that live oak tree on the hill
Em G Dsus2
Now it's hide-out shacks, better watch your back and cover every track of where you've been
Em B7 Em
A thousand wrongs will never make it right, I can never go home again
[Chorus]
C G D Em
Lord forgive me, I know just what I do
C G D Em
I'll take what I need and then I leave the rest to my momma and you
C G D Em
And that tin roof cabin might not have been heaven but it's closer than I've ever been
C G B7 Em
God bless an outlaw's weary soul, I can never go home again
[Verse 4]
Em G Dsus2
Scatter gun blast tears a ten inch hole through an empty burlap sack
Em G Dsus2 Em
As I say my peace for my brothers and me as my whole world fades to black
Em G Dsus2
Here's three new graves underneath the shade of that live oak tree on the hill
Em B7 Em
Overlooking momma's porch with a fresh coat of paint and a shiny new Coup De Ville
[Chorus 2]
C G D Em
Lord forgive me, I know just what I've done
C G D Em
I've been through hell and found myself on the wrong end of a gun
C G D Em
And that tin roof cabin might not have been heaven but it's closer than I've ever been
C G B7 Em
God bless an outlaw's weary soul, I thought I'd never make it home
C G B7 Em
God bless an outlaw's weary soul, I guess I finally made it home again
