Good Year For The Outlaw Lyrics - Singles - Jeffrey Steele

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 and 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 and Willie playin' Chet an' Cash 

And takin' the country back 

Yeah, times were tough and it was hard to find a job 

Well, '79 was a good year for the outlaw, yeah 

All right 

Well, it was somethin' like five years later 

I finally got my license to drive 

I was huggin' the kerb, first time I heard 

A Country Boy Can Survive 

And I turned it up 

Yeah, I turned it way up 

And it was wild guitars, it was loud and hard 

Some kinda hill billy rock and 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 

Turn it up 

Who? 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, CC12
