Hate Me

[Verse] Hate me for the things I've done Hate me for the battles I've won I'm a cowboy with a heart so cold But I'm breaking chains Gonna break the mold [Verse 2] Hate me for my leather and my boots Hate me for my whiskey and my roots I'm a rebel with a cause Can't you see? But I'm rising up Gonna set myself free [Chorus] Hate me Hate me I don't give a damn I'm a rodeo outcast A black sheep on the lam Hate me Hate me It's all part of my plan I'm gonna ride the storm Gonna make my stand [Bridge] I've danced with demons in the dark Carried burdens, left my mark But every scar's a story told In this wild west, I'll find my gold [Verse 3] Hate me for my restless soul Hate me for the secrets I hold I'm a lone wolf, wild and free But I'm finding strength In my destiny [Verse 4] Hate me for the fire in my eyes Hate me for the truth in my lies I'm a renegade with a flame that burns But I'll light the way With each twist and turn [Chorus] Hate me Hate me I don't give a damn I'm a rodeo outcast A black sheep on the lam Hate me Hate me It's all part of my plan I'm gonna ride the storm Gonna make my stand [Verse] I've been through the storms of doubt Breakin' through No way I'm out Dust and wind I'll find my home This outlaw heart was born to roam [Outro, crescendo] So hate me if you must (Hate me if you must) (Hate me if you must) I don't give a damn, and I'll always rise from the dust [Drum solo] [Apply_eq]
