[Verse 1]
Well that label man said, 'Son
Now can you sing a little bit more clear
Your voice might be too genuine
And your song's a little too sincere
Can you sing a little more about outlaws
And the way things used to be?'
He told me, 'You just worry about writing them songs
Leave everything else to me'
[Verse 2]
Daddy was a Highwayman
But he never wrote any old country songs
Papaw never stayed out
Raising hell till the break of dawn
But he raised a proud coal miner's daughter
And I'm proud to be her son
She told me, 'Boy, I don't care if you hit it big
'Cause you’re already #1'
[Chorus]
That's the way it goes in this day and age
You ain't gotta read between the lines
You just gotta turn the page
Well the most outlaw thing that I've ever done
Was give a good woman a ring
But that's the way it goes
Life ain't fair and the world is mean
Well that label man said, 'Son
Now can you sing a little bit more clear
Your voice might be too genuine
And your song's a little too sincere
Can you sing a little more about outlaws
And the way things used to be?'
He told me, 'You just worry about writing them songs
Leave everything else to me'
[Verse 2]
Daddy was a Highwayman

'Cause you’re already #1'
[Chorus]
That's the way it goes in this day and age
You ain't gotta read between the lines
You just gotta turn the page
Well the most outlaw thing that I've ever done
Was give a good woman a ring
But that's the way it goes
Life ain't fair and the world is mean
