Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Met her Friday — ring on Sunday
White dress — shotguns — bells on Monday
Mama’s hug — Daddy’s grin
Next thing — I’m in — a getaway spin
Uncle’s laughin’ — cash in a sack
Cousin’s yellin’ — “Don’t look back”
Moon on the dash — smoke in the air
Sheriff’s close — but we don’t care
[Chorus]
My in-laws are outlaws — I’m runnin’ too
Boots on the floor — mask on view
Church bells rang — then sirens cried
One hand on her — one hand to drive
Thought I married — sweet and clean
Now I’m livin’ — in a bandit scene
My in-laws are outlaws — and I’m all in
Love’s ridin’ shotgun — trouble’s my kin
[Verse 2]
First week out — learnin’ the score
Pick that lock — kick that door
Mama deals cards — Daddy runs guns
Every night’s a race — till the daylight comes
Black bandana — boots in mud
My blood’s runnin’ — on blacktop blood
Didn’t plan it — but here I am
Outlaw heart — in a wedding band
[Chorus]
My in-laws are outlaws — I’m runnin’ too
Boots on the floor — mask on view
Church bells rang — then sirens cried
One hand on her — one hand to drive
Thought I married — sweet and clean
Now I’m livin’ — in a bandit scene
My in-laws are outlaws — and I’m all in
Love’s ridin’ shotgun — trouble’s my kin
[Bridge]
Shotgun seat — she’s lockin’ and loadin’
Laughin’ loud — while the back roads open
This ain’t life — that I thought I’d choose
But baby — I can’t lose with you
Kick up dirt — in a two-tone Chevy
Gas tank full — and the trunk’s real heavy
Safehouse here — switch cars there
Cash in the cooler — dye in the hair
Fake IDs — backroad maps
Don’t stop drivin’ — till the tires collapse
Life on the run — ain’t bad you see
Long as the law — don’t catch you and me
[Final Chorus]
My in-laws are outlaws — I’m runnin’ too
Boots on the floor — mask on view
Church bells rang — then sirens cried
One hand on her — one hand to drive
Thought I married — sweet and clean
Now I’m livin’ — in a bandit scene
My in-laws are outlaws — and I’m all in
Love’s ridin’ shotgun — trouble’s my kin
[Outro]
Yeah, my in-laws are outlaws…
And now I’m the most wanted of ’em all.
