Yeah Boots in the dirt Bass in the floorboards Black hat gospel Cowboy gangsta I got a slow draw walk and a midnight lean Dust on the coat, but the buckle stay clean Whole town watch when I step off the horse Like a storm rolled in with a velvet voice I don’t need a crown, I don’t need no throne Got a one-lane road and a heart of stone She said, “You look like trouble dressed in black” I said, “Baby, trouble looks better when it don’t look back” I move like a rumor I ride like a king Got the night in my pocket And the dust on a string Cowboy gangsta Dust-road don Black hat tilted Till the fear is gone Cowboy gangsta Spurs go clack Whole room turns When the wolf walks back Cowboy gangsta No fake, no front Ain’t gotta say much When the bass says enough Cowboy gangsta Low and mean Outlaw heart With a saloon-door swing Got a red-eyed sunrise chasing my sins Got a bad little angel asking where I been I said, “Out past the ridge where the wild things roam” She said, “Take me there, I’m tired of home” So we rode through the canyon with the moon cut thin Two lost souls with a dangerous grin No map, no rules, no preacher man plan Just her hand on my chest and my name in the sand I don’t chase heaven I don’t fear hell I just ride with the living And I love ’em too well Cowboy gangsta Dust-road don Black hat tilted Till the fear is gone Cowboy gangsta Spurs go clack Whole room turns When the wolf walks back Cowboy gangsta No fake, no front Ain’t gotta say much When the bass says enough Cowboy gangsta Low and mean Outlaw heart With a saloon-door swing No gold teeth needed No diamond parade Just a scar on my knuckle And a debt I paid No white fence waiting No Sunday disguise Just a black horse breathing Under blood-orange skies She said, “Are you leaving?” I said, “Not tonight” She said, “Are you dangerous?” I said, “Only done right” Cowboy gangsta Dust-road don Black hat tilted Till the fear is gone Cowboy gangsta Spurs go clack Whole room turns When the wolf walks back Cowboy gangsta No fake, no front Ain’t gotta say much When the bass says enough Cowboy gangsta Low and mean Outlaw heart With a saloon-door swing Boots in the dirt Moon in the smoke Cowboy gangsta Born from the road
