Outsmarted Songtext
von Lukas Nelson

I raced around a setting sun
I found out how the west was won
Manifested destiny with liquor and festivities
Against my better nature
I went hog-wild, wasting paper
I was madder than Don Draper
Suckin′ in that holy vapor

My beard won't warm me in the cold
It just betrays my age as the years unfold
When I was younger, I had clever lines
That now reside beside my eyes
I hid my heart high on a shelf
I managed to outsmart myself


It took you no time at all to take all my time
With your summer dress and your hungry eyes
I focused in with undivided attention
Oh, and not to mention
You never said you needed me
I never promised anything
Somehow, we just came to be
You and me

My beard won′t warm me in the cold
It just betrays my age as the years unfold
When I was younger, I had clever lines
That now reside beside my eyes
I hid my heart high on a shelf
I managed to outsmart myself

Come over now
You can bring your bottle
You navigate, I'll take the throttle
I was you, not long ago
You couldn't tell me nothing, no

I never bring a soul to water
That didn′t ask me for a bath
Each time I look into your eyes
I see my old familiar lies


My beard won′t warm me in the cold
It just betrays my age as the years unfold
When I was younger, I had clever lines
That now reside beside my eyes
I hid my heart high on a shelf
I managed to outsmart myself
