i'm only an outlaw in my mind
i only rob trains and
leave broken hearts
in my wake
when i'm drivin in my car
i'm only a lover in my head
cause i can't bring myself to love you
the way i want to
with my hands or
with my heart
i'm only a rockstar late at night
i write these songs and
i sing'em to myself and i hope and pray
that they up and
walk away
i'm only free in my past
i kick and scream like
i don't have no choice
but i know deep down inside
i'm still chartin
my own path
and i feel like far too long
i've been denyin myself
but from this day on
i won't fight what i've become
yeah i was young and wild
i was cool and bold but
now i'm growin old
the years flew by too fast
while i was livin in the past
but now i've found my open road
i'm always alone in my mind
they say that men cannot survive as islands
but i will
or at least i will
die tryin
and i'm always runnin in my dreams
i think i'm scared of
growin old and tired and not usin
all these gifts i have
in me
