Lyrics

Outlaw Cafe

He was headed southbound on highway nine
Longing to reach the Texas state line
On his way to find a brand new life
Runnin? from his past
Runnin? from the law
Cause he was turned in by his wife

Closer to Austin he needed to rest
Wanting to get much further west
But He picked up this old man
Who was broke down and needed a hand

Chorus:
He said son you know what you've done
And you know where you've been
So you can't go back there again
Just make yourself feel right at home
Forget your past cause you're not alone
But remember one thing you're here to stay
Welcome to the Outlaw Cafe

Drove to an old run down shack
He said there?s no turning back
You're about to learn a dark Texas secret
If you don't want to die
And want some peace of mind
You'll have to keep it

In the doorway he saw a few familiar faces
He'd seen on wanted signs in different places
The old man said, don't say I didn't warn ya
He thought of a similar pace in California

SOLO

The only one allowed on the outside
Was the old man going for food and wine
Others could run but could not hide
It?s been going strong since 1969

REPEAT CHORUS/TAG?..Welcome to the Outlaw Café
Yeah
