Michael Shaw - Outlaw's Refuge Lyrics



Michael Shaw - Outlaw's Refuge Lyrics




When I married my dear Sally I was through with rambling 'round
I'd quit my drinking and my whoring and thought I'd settled down
But she passed away last winter and they laid her in the ground
I got back on the bottle and every whore in town

I packed up for Montana, stopped in 'ol Cheyenne
I won a horse named Whiskey when I played the winning hand
But the gambler tried to cheat me, he was a no good oil man
I shot that greedy bastard down and headed north again

Out here in the country, far from town or city
I'll take my final stand, me and my pal Whiskey
Out here by my cabin, I'm living off the land
I got moonshine in a bottle, I got a shotgun in my hand

Reflections on the water, the birds sing harmony
Coyote calls at midnight keep me good company
It's a refuge for an outlaw, a heaven for a queen
You don't come looking for me now or you'll hear my rifle sing

Out here in the country, far from town or city
I'll take my final stand, me and my pal Whiskey
Out here by my cabin, I'm living off the land
I got moonshine in a bottle, I got a shotgun in my hand
