\u00a9 Bill Miles 2014

Chorus
\nThe man on that poster, that poster looks a lot like me
\nI wouldn’t have shot that man but he was trying his best to shoot me
\nAt night I sleep outside, I sleep outside oh with the tumbleweeds
\nHoping and praying that I can stay free<\/p>\n

Verse 1
\nI was playing cards in smoky bars when a drunk man pulled a gun on me
\nAs I turned to leave three bullets flew right past me
\nThat was the night that fate changed my life that grown man was playing for keeps
\nOh Momma pray for my soul ’cause I shot a man that day<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nThe man on that poster, that poster looks a lot like me
\nI wouldn’t have shot that man but he was trying his best to shoot me
\nAt night I sleep outside, I sleep outside oh with the tumbleweeds
\nHoping and praying that I can stay free
\nOh let me stay free
\nYeah, yeah, yeah
\nOh God let me stay free<\/p>\n

Verse 2
\nPeople say that judges are really fair men on most good days
\nI’ve never been too lucky at this life I’m better playing poker games
\nPeople call me the joker, I’m the joker but today I can’t play
\nThe game I’m playing is trying to stay out of that lawman’s way<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nThe man on that poster, that poster looks a lot like me
\nI wouldn’t have shot that man but he was trying his best to shoot me
\nAt night I sleep outside, I sleep outside oh with the tumbleweeds
\nHoping and praying that I can stay free
\nOh let me stay free
\nOh God let me stay free<\/p>\n

Verse 3
\nI’m an outlaw on the outside of the prison walls where they want me to reside
\nThe jailor is waitin’ on me to call but he’s gonna have to wait a little while
\nStill playing my card games and these pretty girls oh and they all know my name
\nGo ahead and deal me in boys just know I’m the joker and I might not stay<\/p>\n

Chorus
\nThe man on that poster, that poster looks a lot like me
\nI wouldn’t have shot that man but he was trying his best to shoot me
\nAt night I sleep outside, I sleep outside oh with the tumbleweeds
\nHoping and praying that I will stay free
\nOh let me stay free
\nOh God let me stay free<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
