Album: Colors (2016)

Pioneer

What ever happened to the outlaw?
Mighty men who were great and flawed,
Whatever happened to the renegade?
Modern man came and put him in a cage.

Whatever happened to the pioneer?
Who faced the great unknown with a trembling fear,
Whatever happened to the hard and lean?
Who cut their way through the world with a primal scream,

Oh pioneer, don't seem like a choice to me,
You can be safe or you can be free,
Oh pioneer, no law in the new frontier,
Keep your eyes open and your pistol near.

Welcome back to the neighborhood,
A few things should be understood,
Around here I'm your only friend,
Your priest, your blood, your protection.

Open your eyes it's us and them,
Cops still cheat and saints still sin,
But the hunger in our belly makes us hard and lean,
To cut our way through the world with a primal scream.

I don't have no fear I'm a,
In a new frontier I'm a,
Keep a pistol near I'm a pioneer.
