[Verse 1]

6 AM, the sun is a snitch

Peeking through the blinds, dragging me out of the ditch

Of a dream where I didn't owe a dime

Now I’m standing in line, commit the morning crime

The barista’s got a tattoo of a broken chain

Pouring liquid tar into my weary brain

It ain’t whiskey, it ain’t wine

But it’s the only way to walk the line

[Chorus]

Outlaw Coffee, black as sin

Kick the door down, let the chaos in

It tastes like asphalt, it tastes like smoke

A little liquid courage for the working folk

Run from the sleep, run from the slow

With a paper cup pistol, ready to go

Outlaw Coffee, save my soul

Before the daily grind swallows me whole

[Verse 2]

No sugar, no cream, don’t water it down

I need the bitter truth of this neon town

My hands are shaking, but my aim is true

Shooting off emails like a villain holds a coup

We’re all fugitives hiding in a caffeine haze

Counting down the minutes, burning up the days

This roast is darker than my ex-wife’s heart

Jumpstart the engine, watch the panic start

[Bridge]

It’s a legally binding addiction

A chemically induced conviction

For five bucks change, I buy my escape

From the red tape and the velvet drape

Just a sip of rebellion, cold and dry

Before I put on my tie and live the lie

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Outlaw Coffee, black as sin

Kick the door down, let the chaos in

It tastes like asphalt, it tastes like smoke

A little liquid courage for the working folk

Run from the sleep, run from the slow

With a paper cup pistol, ready to go

Outlaw Coffee, save my soul

Before the daily grind swallows me whole

[Outro]

Yeah, swallows me whole

Just one more shot

Give me everything you got

(Outlaw... Outlaw...)

Bottoms up, partner.

[End]
