Ride it Like You Stole it

I was born with a rusted halo

Whiskey blood and a .38 soul

Mama said I'd meet my shadow

If I kept runnin' down that road

But I got fire in my footsteps

Smoke risin' off my name

And I ain't slowin' for no sunset

'Til that heaven bar calls my name

Ride it like you stole it, baby

Kick dust, let the past go crazy

Gas tank low, but my heart still burns

With a six-string hope and lessons learned

Ain't no map in a ramblin' life

Just a wind-blown dream and a pocket knife

So ride it, ride it like you stole it tonight

I got scars that don't show in the mirror

Ghosts singin' soft in the rearview blue

But I play 'em loud just to hear 'em clearer

Turnin' pain into red dirt truth

There's a girl back home with a ring she threw

And a prayer she don't say my name

But this outlaw moon got a pull so true

I keep ridin' through the flame

Ride it like you stole it, baby

Kick dust, let the past go crazy

Gas tank low, but my heart still burns

With a six-string hope and lessons learned

Ain't no map in a ramblin' life

Just a wind-blown dream and a pocket knife

So ride it, ride it like you stole it tonight

Ain't no sheriff gonna catch my sins

Ain't no preacher gonna let me in

But the rhythm of the road is a holy hymn

And I'm baptized in the roar of the wind

Ride it like you stole it, baby

Let the Lord sort the saints and the shady

Fuel light blinkin' but I'm still alive

With a rebel grin and a fifth of drive

Ain't no map in a ramblin' life

Just a matchstick soul and a storm to fight

So ride it, ride it like you stole it tonight

Yeah ride it...

Like it never was yours to hold

Like it's burnin' down and you're chasin' gold
