Everybody's talking saying this will never last 

Trying to see the future 

Judging me by my past 

I've always been a sinner 

But I've never claimed to be 

Anymore than what I am 

What you get is what you see 



I've always had a wild side 

I've always stood just a little outside the lines 

Living on the edge out of control 

Too hard to handle, 

Too free to hold 



Too hard to handle, and just too free to hold 



I ain't no urban cowboy 

I ain't no country plowboy 

I'm a music man 

I've got a whole lot of southern pride 

A whole lot of rowdy friends 



I've got whiskey on my breath 

A big heart in my chest 

I won't let you down 

I'll stand up and fight 

Lay down and die for the love I've found 



I've always had a wild side 

I've always stood just a little outside the lines 

Living on the edge out of control 

Too hard to handle, 

Too free to hold 

Too hard to handle, and just too free to hold 



Too hard to handle and too free to hold
