Don’t think I’m not tough as nails or hard as steel.
But this softer side, this too is real. I try to be decent, a good man.
Although I know what I’ve done and where I am. I’ve fought and stole, I’ve killed and bled.
I’ve caused pain and many tears to be shed.
I’m tired of it, this outlaw life. Filled with loneliness, sorrow, and endless strife.
I watch life pass by, day by day.
The weeks, months, and years have slipped away.
I don’t ask for much, no mansion or expensive ride.
I’ll take a simple life, a good woman by my side.
But it’s not my time, so until then, know this, you’ve made it easier my friend.
I appreciate you, all you are and all you do.
Your kindness a light in the dark, thank you.
If I had more to give, you know I would.
This’ll have to do for now, I hope it’s good.
