[Verse 1]
People try to tell me that I'm stuck in my ways
Just a stubborn S.O.B., so be it if that's the case
I'm just out here doing what I've always done
Ain't that complicated, I ain't changing for no one

[Pre-Chorus]
Ain't like I can hide it
Ain't like I got a choice
Ain't never gonna be anything
But this bad ole good ole boy

[Chorus]
I'm on the outside of the inside
The wrong side of the fence
On the right side of the Lord
I don't care what the left side says
You can love it or leave it
Like it or not
American since the day I was born
Outlaw by the grace of God

[Verse 2]
Ain't no one gonna make me
Unmake my made up mind
'Til my dying day, there ain't no way
I ain't living this way of life
I don't care what you think of me
For being who I am
The good Lord made me just this way
So take it up with Him
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't need your permission
To do what I wanna do
I'll mind my own business
How 'bout you mind yours too?

[Chorus]
I'm on the outside of the inside
The wrong side of the fence
On the right side of the Lord
I don't care what the left side says
You can love it or leave it
Like it or not
American since the day I was born
Outlaw by the grace of God

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I'm on the outside of the inside
The wrong side of the fence
On the right side of the Lord
I don't care what the left side says
You can love it or leave it
Like it or not
American since the day I was born
Outlaw by the grace of God
American since the day I was born
Outlaw by the grace of God
