I was born a country singer I love Charley Pride raised on 'He Stopped Loving Her...' cut my teeth on 'Mama Tried' yes I love Hank Williams but I still love Rock-and-Roll Hank Jr., Me and Waylon we're all cut from the same mold but I still think there's lots of room for old outlaws like us
I love to jam with the Skynard Band 'cause 'Freebird' chills my bones and I've talked trash with Johnny Cash and I've sung with George Jones and I have played on the Opry stage where the Country legends stood where you don't give lies of alibis 'cause that don't do no good and Lord I guess that I've been blessed through I've been kicked and cussed but it's nothing new to moan the Blues for old outlaws like us
Chorus: and I wear this Country banner and I'm proud to wave the flag and you can talk all day 'bout the next Billy Ray but I'll cast my vote for Hag and when all those screaming metal bands have corroded into rust there'll be a show on music row for old outlaws like us
