The Netherlands Eurovision 2018: Outlaw in 'em - Waylon [Lyrics]

The Eurovision Song Contest 2018 entry of The Netherlands.
ESC 2018

Songtext:
It’s a fine, fine line
Between whiskey
And water, and to wine

It’s a long way home
When you’re down and out
And out here on your own

But it don’t matter who you are
When it’s time to lock and load

Everybody’s got a little outlaw in ’em
Gold piece hiding in their blacked out denim
Heartbeat beating to a rock ‘n’ roll rhythm, yeah

Everybody got a couple scared up knuckles
Blood on their boots and their back up buckle
Diamond back rattle with the quick strike venom
Everybody’s got a little outlaw in ’em

When they knock you to the ground
You ain’t gonna let nobody keep you down
When you’re backed against the wall
That’s when you gotta learn to stand up tall

Yeah, that rebel fights inside of you
That’s been there all along

Everybody’s got a little outlaw in ’em
Gold piece hiding in their blacked out denim
Heartbeat beating to a rock ‘n’ roll rhythm, yeah

Everybody got a couple scared up knuckles
Blood on their boots and their back up buckle
Diamond back rattle with the quick strike venom
Everybody’s got a little outlaw in ’em, oh, oh

Everybody’s got a little outlaw in ’em
Gold piece hiding in their blacked out denim
Heartbeat beating to a rock ‘n’ roll rhythm, yeah

Huh, everybody got little front man swagger
Stone cold rolling like a young Mick Jagger
A new tattoo that you can’t keep hidden
Everybody’s got a little outlaw in ’em

Love this song. Good luck from Latvia :)

[carlaborges]

Why the Netherlands has decided, in the last years, always send a country music!?! Normally, don’t enjoy country songs but mix with rock is really catchy, amazing and good, adding the good voice of the singer. Well done the Netherlands, Congratulations and Good Luck from

[mmfairhill]

i like his honesty when he says it could finish anywhere in 14 with the Common Linnets and calm after the storm it finished second behind a revenge ballad but still could have won lots of talent at this years event I hope it doesnt get lost in the shuffle for music lovers to appreciate it

[PitchedHigh]

[IndominusMemoir]

[anjajooren]

Shouln't it be INTO wine instead of AND TO ? makes more sence and when you listen I think it's into.

[caitlinscheffer]

[thijsrikkerink]

HUP WAYLON JE GAAT WINNEN OVERMORGEN! 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

[erwinmulder]

There's an error in your lyrics. The song starts with "It's a fine, fine line. Between whiskey and 'water into wine'." Which means there's a fine line between being a sinner and a saint. This obviously ties into the rest of the song's theme.

[kiekendiefje]

It's scarred up knuckles with double R *justsaying*

[rosatoffolo]

Ik denk wel dat dit het nog bijzonder goed kan gaan doen... Of we eindigen hoog of laag, maar ik vind het sws een tof lied dus mij maakt het niet uit 😂

[anaorevic]

Isn't it say "it doesn't matter" and NO "it don't matter"?

[kitty_goalsmsp]

I am from Netherlands...I dont like it at all...Is that weird?..

[ordewingate]

It's a mediocre Country-Rock song. You can't go far wile commenting Antisemite remarks.

[orsimoni]

I love this song, I'm listening this for the very first time, and I love this Country thingy:)
