Momma wouldn’t let me be a cowboy
E -------
B -------
Couldn’t pass in medicine and such
E -------
B -------
So here I am counting barrels
E -------
B -------
Good ol’ West Texas sludge
E -------
B -------
But I’d rather be an outlaw
Riding like Bonnie and Clyde
Instead I’m in this here high rise
Doing 25 to life

B -------
This room is feeling like a cage

B -------
Counting the numbers of my long and lonesome days
I punch out in fits of rage
E -------
B -------
I gotta get out of this place

I could be out on the prairie

Under the stars at night

Sitting with a guitar ‘round a campfire

B -------
Singing devil wears a suit and tie
E -------
B -------
But I’d rather be an outlaw
Riding like Bonnie and Clyde
Instead I’m in this here high rise
Doing 25 to life
E -------
B -------
I pull this mask up on my face
E -------
B -------
I’m back in my happy place
E -------
B -------
Riding again with the old gang
E -------
B -------
Stealing hearts, taking names
E -------
B -------
But I’d rather be an outlaw
Darlin' oh you'd be by my side
We'd ride off into the sunset
Doing 25 to life
E -------
B -------
You could be my Bonnie
I would be your Clyde
We would not worry for money
Into the sunset we’d ride
Doing to 25 to life
