The Outlaw Torn

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

And now I wait my whole lifetime

For you

And now I wait my whole lifetime

For you

I ride the dirt, I ride the tide

For you

I search the outside search inside

For you

To take back what you left me

I know I'll always burn to be

The one who seeks so I may find

And now I wait my whole lifetime

I'm outlaw torn

I'm outlaw torn

And I'm torn

So on I wait my whole lifetime

For you

So on I wait my whole lifetime

For you

The more I search, the more my need

For you

The more I bless, the more I bleed

For you

You make me smash the clock and feel

I'd rather die behind the wheel

Time was never on my side

So on I wait my whole lifetime

I'm outlaw torn

I'm outlaw torn

I'm outlaw torn

And I'm torn

Hear me, and if I close my mind in fear

Please pry it open

See me, and if my face becomes sincere

Beware

Hold me, and when I start to come undone

Stitch me together

Save me, and when you see me strut

Remind me of what left this outlaw torn

Hear me, and if I close my mind in fear

Please pry it open

See me, and if my face becomes sincere

Beware

Hold me, and when I start to come undone

Stitch me together

Save me, and when you see me strut

Remind me of what left this outlaw torn
