Written and Performed by Johnny Bourbon

lyrics

If an outlaw wrote you a love song,
Could you take him for all his mistakes?
Cause it's harder to be a good cowboy,
Livin' in these tryin' days.

Home is so far,
And left without heart,
There ain't no good reason to stay,
It's hard to go on
With no good love at home,
There's so much left I couldn't say,

But the sun will come up
Over the hills,
And the state line will take you away,

Mercy, me.

So if an outlaw asked your forgiveness,
Could you take him for all he's got left?
Cause it's harder to be a good lover,
With a heart full of whiskey and debt.

Home is so far,
And left without heart,
When there ain't no good reason to stay,
It's hard to go on
With no good love at home...
There's so much left I couldn't say

But the sun still comes up
Over the hills
And the state line will take you away

Mercy, me.
