lyrics

Cold Wind and Rain

I used to be an outlaw
Out on the open range
On my horse with hunger pangs
Free in the cold wind and the rain

Burnt dust on the prairie
Dark clouds on the plain
Most alive freezing in pain
Crossing the mountains in the cold wind and rain

You can keep your bright old sunshine
I’ll give you the clear blue stars
You can have all the banks and the gold and gold bars
What I miss most and it ain’t insane is just being an outlaw
In the cold wind and rain

I was on the mayor’s horse
With the governor’s daughter
When I got caught ridin’ Fort Knox
Drinking the jail house water

Oh to be an Outlaw again
Riding hard on the range
Freezing my ass off and starving to death
Far away in the cold wind and rain

You can keep your bright old sunshine
I’ll give you the clear blue stars
You can have all the banks and the gold and gold bars
What I miss most and it ain’t insane is just being an outlaw
In the cold wind and rain

If only I had a shot that sheriff
My sentence could have been for to hang
I could have died up on the gallows
Swinging free in the cold wind and rain

I’ve scratched my name in the concrete
And I’ve counted all of these bars
You can have all the banks, keep all the change
Just give me my horse and the cold wind and rain

You can keep your bright old sunshine
I’ll give you the clear blue stars
You can have all the banks and the gold and gold bars
What I miss most and it ain’t insane is just being an outlaw
In the cold wind and rain
