Written by Mikaela Finne in January 2020, but finished on April 12th 2020
Now, this song means a lot to me. Like a lot a a lot, because it’s about something I’ve been dealing with my whole life. I honestly don’t give a rat’s ass about what people think of me, and many people out there don’t like that. At all. Especially some of the opposite sex.
So, in this day and age, the “new” outlaws are women who stand up for themselves, love themselves and don’t take any crap from nobody.
I wanted to write a song for us, and any woman on her journey to become an Outlaw Woman. We’re Outlaw Women, and we ain’t going nowhere.
The demo version of this song that I had with me into the studio, is not the version we decided to put on the record. After recording it my producer, Brady blade, had the excellent idea of changing the rhythm. We recorded it again, and it was just wow. The song was now complete.
lyrics
We’re outlaw women
Yeah, we get a bad reputation
'Cause we’re outlaw women
Yeah, we come and take from it all
We’re outlaw women
We scare them boys, but we excite men
I don’t think I can count all the times
I’ve been called too much or out of line
We’re outlaw women
Yeah, we get bad reputation
'Cause we’re outlawed women
We might drink, get stoned
Do whatever we want
I don’t see why we can’t do whatever we want
Or be who we are without being looked down at
We’re outlaw women
Yeah, we’re outlawed women
Oh, we’re outlaw women
Yeah, we’re outlawed women
We’re outlaw women
