Living On The Outside

I've got steel on my fingers
Granite on my breathe
A bottle in one ear
And a spike in my chest
A nickel in my boot
And my finger in a dam
I hang out with a bunch
Of losers I call my friends
And we sing
Oooooh
Oooooh
Oooooh
Oooooh
But I'm headin' out today
I'm goin' down Elijah's way
Spinnin' wheels on fire
With my speed needle between my jeans
So darlin' show me what you're hiding
Behind that ring
Behind your pink silhouette, young lust balcony
Come on baby just ride with me
Come on baby just ride with me
Come on baby just ride with me
We got two-thousand miles between here and home
They won't even know we're gone
I got mama's smile and my daddy's gun
You got your honest face and your liars tongue
Until Armageddon takes me
It's just you and me baby
Runnin' like the only sinners left
Lovin' like the only sinners left
Livin' like the only sinners left alive
Livin' on the outside
I've got one shot to steal this world
If you wanna go with me you can be my girl
Here's a bullet for your thoughts
And a penny for the train
Next time I'm here they'll be diggin' my grave
Come on baby just ride with me
Come on baby just ride with me
We got two-thousand miles between here and home
They won't even know we're gone
I got mama's smile and my daddy's gun
You got your honest face and your liars tongue
Until Armageddon takes me
It's just you and me baby
Runnin' like the only sinners left
Lovin' like the only sinners left
Livin' like the only sinners left alive
Livin' on the outside
Livin' on the outside
Livin' on the outside
Livin' on the outside
Livin' on the outside
If I gotta go then I'm goin' in style
You're gonna find me rinnin' down that calvary mile
A beggar's son on a potter's tree
Come on baby just ride with me
Come on baby just ride with me
Come on baby just ride with me
We got two-thousand miles between here and home
They don't even know we're gone
I got my mama's smile and my daddy's gun
Bring your honest face and your liars tongue
Until Armageddon takes me
It's just you and me baby
Runnin' like the only sinners left
Livin' like the only sinners left
Lovin' like the only sinners left alive
Livin' on the outside
