The Reason
---------------


I grew up a bastard, a manic scofflaw soul,
underneath the yankee’s watchful eye
that puritan fist it barely missed those damned judgemental hypocrites
but some how I made it out alive
Im not here to feed your all consuming greed
I’m a dreamer stuck among the damned
I tried to build on these old hills, but your fist grew stronger still
and blood stains these desperate lands


Chours:
You’re the reason there are always bullets in my gun
You’re the reason there’s a knife at my side
You’re the reason why I live this life outside of the lines
You’re the reason the reason I won’t stop until I die


I’ll rather
die on my feet than live on my knees
So I made the decision, I’ll take what I need
outlaw is as outlaw does, forever shall I rise above
I armed myself and made for the streets
black river bandit, burning gasoline
these miles, they changed my stride
The only time I ever find any kind of peace of mind
Is when I leave the world behind


You’re the reason there are always bullets in my gun
You’re the reason there’s a knife at my side
You’re the reason why I live this life outside of the lines
You’re the reason the reason I won’t stop until I die


theres a price you’ve got to pay if you want to live free
and let me tell you that it’s a high price indeed
one mistake is all it takes, nothing can be left to fate
there’s just so much here at stake
and I’ve got some words for all my enemies
you ain’t seen the last of of me
I’m around the corner, and past the bend, I’m every place you’ve ever been
you will pay dearly for your deeds


You’re the reason there are always bullets in my gun
You’re the reason there’s a knife at my side
You’re the reason why I live this life outside of the lines
You’re the reason the reason I won’t stop until I die
