lyrics

Off The Reservation

i pined through the window
for a freight train headed south
when they tried to call the guard
i smacked him in the mouth

i meant to sleep in memphis
to hear that blues guy sing
but when i went to pay in full
they’d sold off everything

off the reservation
my spirit found its place
buffered by those cottonwoods
i’ve lived with my disgrace

my mother tried to tell me
i always tuned her out
the money vanished long ago
now we just shared the doubt

i went down to see her
before she finally passed
she stared through her one good eye
said here’s the truth at last

chorus

all the mirrors shattered
it was such a perfect storm
i heard my reflection ask
can outlaws still reform

off the reservation
my spirit found its place
buffered by those cottonwoods
i’ve lived with my disgrace 2x
