Lyrics

You can talk to me about destiny
you can talk to me about fate
seems to me I've always been the one
to make my own mistakes
I've lived the life of an outlaw
and I'm proud of where I stand
I don't believe that there's a man alive
could ever take me in

You could call it foolish pride
there were things I thought I knew
you could say my time was up
and there was nothing I could do
I never saw it coming
I'll never be the same
ain't it funny how in a breathless moment
everything can change

I surrender, I'm giving up
Lord have mercy, I'm in love
I'm tired of running, I've had enough
now there's one less outlaw sleeping out beneath that sky above
Lord have mercy, I'm in love

Now I don't question mysteries
I've always been a simple man
but this time I keep wondering
if this was all part of the plan
she says there's no secret
she says she knew it all along
that there's some things you can't resist
though you stand up proud and strong

I surrender, I'm giving up
Lord have mercy, I'm in love
I'm tired of running, I've had enough
now there's one gambler dreaming 'bout lady luck
Lord have mercy, I'm in love

She looked so beautiful that it brought me to my knees
she knew just what to say to put my mind at ease
she gave me all these things I never knew I need
and a loving home to call our home that I swear I'll never leave

I surrender, I'm giving up
Lord have mercy, I'm in love
I'm tired of running, I've had enough
no more looking for lady luck
Lord have mercy, I'm in love
