Outlaw Heart

You’ve got eyes that shine like the summer sky
And a smile that melts my heart
So I stumble through these romanticized lines
To keep from falling apart
I hear you laugh like an old soundtrack to the movie scenes of life
I wish that I could sing along but I’m far too terrified
So I sing these songs to you and never once tell you girl that they’re for you

If your momma was an angel and your daddy was a king and you told me that I’d believe
So I’d treat you like an angel though I’ll never be a king and build a castle around your dreams
I’m a gambling man and I’m ‘a win you the world and a pretty little house of cards
Where you can be my queen in diamonds and I can be your king of hearts
I’ll sing these songs to you and I’ll win your heart each day that I’m with you
I’ll sing these songs for you

If your daddy was an old bank robber with your momma in a wild American gang
I’d steal your heart instead of fancy cars and hold you up like a run away train
With machine gun steady and a get away ready we can run on out of this town
And leave the border lines behind us, head way out west and settle down
I’ll sing these songs for you and my outlaw heart belongs to only you
I’ll sing these songs for you

If your momma had the voice of a choir and your daddy played keys in a café room
I’d play you the songs that made your heart dance, honey, and I’d sing about marrying you
With ¾ time behind ballad lines we’ll fall in love to a renegade waltz
Like horse’s hooves over cobblestone streets our pounding hearts won’t stop
As I sing these songs for you and the world will sing along with lines for you
I’ll sing these songs for only you
