: In the later verses, the narrator reflects on his own life—having a family and "calloused hands" from hard work—and passing the same lessons of integrity and empathy down to his children. Bryan Martin – Everyone's an Outlaw Lyrics - Genius
Stick to your guns sonMake me proudDon't never back upDon't never back downStand your ground and always tell it like it isYeah, this life's gonna be real damn toughYou take them scars and you call that bluffDon't let me catch you fitting in'Cause everyone's an outlawYeah, everyone's an outlaw'Til it's time to do outlaw shit('Til it's time to do outlaw shit) : In the later verses, the narrator reflects
Well, I was raised up by a simple manI grew up with a gun in my handTaught me how to love and how to fightTaught me what's wrong, taught me what's rightSaid, you don't have the choice to chooseYou do what you can and don't ever loseJust remember even when I'm dead and gone : In the later verses
Well, the times are changing but not for meI got my own home now and a familyTwo callused hands and some old work bootsBusted my ass, paid my duesTell my kids every nightTry to see the world through your neighbor's eyesAnd make a difference if you can taught me what's rightSaid
: The song starts with the narrator recalling being raised by a "simple man" who taught him how to fight for what's right and encouraged him to "stick to your guns" and never back down.
