Jeffrey Steele - Good Year For The Outlaw lyrics

Hey, c'mon

First time I heard "Good Hearted Woman",
I was in my uncle's car
He said: "Son, now that's what I call music,
"Listen to them guitars"
"Turn it up, go on,
"Turn it up"

He said: "Forget that crap you're listenin' to,
"These songs, they got some meat"
I don't think I heard a single word,
'Cause I was caught up in the beat
Yeah, I turned it up,
I turned it way up, yeah

An' it was wild guitar, it was loud an' hard:
Some hill billy rock an' roll
It was somethin' new, breakin' all the rules,
Man, I could feel it down in my soul
It was Waylon an' Willie playin' Chet an' Cash,
An' takin' the country back
Yeah, times were tough an' it was hard to find a jo
Well, '79 was a good year for the outlaw, yeah

All right

Well, it was somethin' like five years later,
I fin'lly got my license to drive
I was huggin' the kerb first time I heard,
"A Country Boy Can Survive"
An' I turned it up,
Yeah, I turned it way up

An' it was wild guitars, it was loud an' hard:
Some kinda hill billy rock an' roll
It was somethin' new, breakin' all the rules,
But you could feel it down in your soul
He was the son of the original son of a gun,
Takin' the country back
The economy was the worst you ever saw,
Yeah, but '85 was a good year for the outlaw, son

(Whoo, c'mon)
(Yeah)

Now somewhere in some honky tonk,
You don't even know his name,
Some young upstart just startin' up,
An' he's wantin' to make a change
He says: "Turn it up,
