about

The idea of this song is that Jeff - and people like him, were struggling to grow and be seen and admired. In reality they were just dirty flowers on a dusty road.

lyrics

Outlaw man has no choice but go
Down the dusty trail he has to show
That he can take it, make it on his own
Outlaw Man has seeds to sow.

Movin’ on from town to town,
Some call him King some say a clown.
One eye of his shoulder, The other on the road
Outlaw Man has seeds to sow.

Outlaw Man reaps the seeds he sowed
Those seeds of vengeance always grow
I can see them rising
Pushing through the dirt
Dirty flowers on a dusty road.

He knows the trail will end someday,
face in the dirt, no time to pray.
The price of cheatin’, stealin’, crooked schemes,
That’s the cost of Outlaw Dreams

Outlaw Man reaps the seeds he sowed
Those seeds of vengeance always grow
I can see them rising
Pushing through the dirt
Dirty flowers on a dusty road.

Dirty Flowers, Dusty Road,
Some dreams never grow
I can see them rising,
Pushing through the dirt
Dirty flowers on a dusty road.
