Packin' bags at the break of dawn
Wild spirits, we long gone
Echo of the past we chased
You wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you in the face
Wheels are turnin', chasin' dreams
Outlaw hearts afraid to sing
Sunset fading, life has takes
You wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you in the face
With a bingin' for a laugh
Dusty trails and a restless cry
Heart beat facin', can you keep the pace
You wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you in the face
Desert sun and an open road
Freedom's called a heavy load
Guitar strings and a rugged embrace
You wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you in the face
Dusty roads and rebel songs
Nights that never felt so long
Whiskey burns, my heart it aches
You wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you in the face
Ridin' high on a feather bed of steel
Livin' life with the devil's deal
Can't slow down the fire's pace
You wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you in the face
Midnight callin' under the stars
Chasin' dreams in these honky tonk cars
Ready to love the croak on the brakes
You wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you in the face
Outlaw spirit runnin' free
Bound by the chains of a wild degree
In this world there ain't no place
Wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you in the face
Blazin' trails under moonlight glow
Bow from nowhere where the wind blows
Voices whisper from a distant place
You wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you in the face
Ridin' high on a feather bed of steel
Livin' life with the devil's deal
Can't slow down the fire's pace
You wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you in the face
Worn out boots and a wild heart
Every mile a brand new start
Beyond signs of lonesome fate
You wouldn't know the truth if it slapped you in the face
