I OUTLIVED MY WANTED POSTER

Intro

Verse 1 Wind still nails it to the wall, Though nobody reads it anymore. Sun bleached every word away... Still hangs outside that general store. Twenty dollars. Dead or alive. Guess inflation killed the prize. Funny thing... I'm worth less dead Than I was alive.

Pre-Chorus Time caught up... The law never did.

Chorus I outlived My wanted poster. Outrode every County border. Every outlaw Turns to dust... Guess I was Too damn stubborn. Still got boots. Still got scars. Still got whiskey Behind the bar. I outlived... The man they hunted.

Verse 2 Sheriff's grandson wears the star. Doesn't know who we all are. Granddad's stories sound like myths... Till I walk through town like this. Young kids ask, "Who's that old man?" Old folks smile... 'Cause they understand. Some legends fade. Some just get older.

Pre-Chorus Paper rots... Leather don't.

Chorus I outlived My wanted poster. Outrode every County border. Years kept moving... I stayed mean. Hard to catch A memory.

Bridge Every nail... Still holds that paper. Every scar... Still holds my name. I outlived My wanted poster. Every rumor. Every order. The law forgot... This old face. But the devil still Knows my name. I outlived... The man they chased.

Outro Funny... The reward never changed.
