got a buddy named red diamond
drank a quart of that bud light and he
waltzed down to the deep side and he
jumps off with a crooked little smile
then around about the time that the cops came
he was drunker than a virgin on her first date
and i know that he ain't gonna cooperate
47 something years now he's still fit the same
he's livin' life like a modern day outlaw
he's livin' life like a modern day outlaw
he works hard for a week's pay
2 jobs nearly every single day
and it ain't often that you see him in town
but about twice a month he'll be making his rounds
hits the corner store and buys 12 pints
a case of red man and some homemade shine
the 4 wheel drive headed back to the woods
whiskey bent and hell bound boy don't it feel good
he's livin' life like a modern day outlaw
he's livin' life like a modern day outlaw
barefooted as a yard dog he don't even wear shoes
rebel of his time got a confederate flag tattoo
smell like cigarettes and you can catch a hint of booze
has a whole lot of nothing
he ain't got a lot to lose
he like to drink a little beer
he like to sip a little shine
cruisin' dirt roads at night so he can ease his mind
see he lost in the moment just enjoying his time
he's livin' life like a modern day outlaw
he's livin' life like a modern day outlaw
