The Great Divide Life of an Outlaw Lyrics

Life of an Outlaw
The Great Divide
Intro: G D C G (hopefully you can hear the rhythm)
Verse:
Held up in a shotgun shack
not goin?? nowhere soon
Sheriff and his fifty men
under a July moon
Where you gonna run to now,
you got nowhere to go
Sheriff??s got ya pinned way down,
he's comin?? for your soul
Won??t be much longer now
cause the stars are fillin?? the sky
We??re gonna kick open the ol?? front door,
we??ll let the bullets fly.
Chorus:
Well I may be goin?? down, I may be headed out,
Got my back against a wall just like a final curtain call
Verse:
Flames stab the darkness,
lightin?? up the sky
Lead flyin?? through the midnight air
as men begin to die
Life falls around me
as a gun bucks in my hand
If life is like a desert,
hell's just a grain of sand
Horse race with the hoof beat
along the riverside
Cloud of dust raisin?? up behind
as we cross the great divide
Chorus:
Well I may be goin?? down, I may be headed out,
Got my back against a wall just like a final curtain call
Bridge:
That??s the life of an outlaw
Livin?? by the gun
There??s a little bit of outlaw
Inside of everyone
Well I may be goin?? down, I may be headed out,
Got my back against a wall just like a final curtain call
