Are They Gonna Make Us Outlaws Again? |
So, you never picked no peaches |
Never rode your boxcar train |
Never worked out on the road gang |
Or slept out in the rain |
But when you see good people |
Have to struggle, sweat, and strain |
When you can’t feed your children |
Don’t it make you stop and think? |
Are they gonna make us outlaws again? |
Is that what it’s comin' to, my friends? |
Well, I think I know why Pretty Boy Floyd done the things he did |
Are they gonna make us outlaws again? |
Well, it’s hard times and bread lines |
Ain’t no sight to see |
When you get hungry |
It ain’t no crazy dream |
Well, the blues is fine for singin' |
But mighty hard to eat |
If things don’t start changin' |
Gon' see what we mean |
Are they gonna make us outlaws again? |
Is that what it’s comin' to, my friends? |
Well, I think I know why Pretty Boy Floyd done the things he did |
Are they gonna make us outlaws again? |
Well, there’s always been a bottom |
There’s always been a top |
Someone took the orders |
And someone called the shots |
Someone took the beatin', Lord |
And someone got the prize |
That may be the way it’s been |
But that don’t make it right |
Are they gonna make us outlaws again? |
Is that what it’s comin' to, my friends? |
Well, I think I know why Pretty Boy Floyd done the things he did |
Are they gonna make us outlaws again? |
Are they gonna make us outlaws again? |
