Outlaw State Of Mind

Chris Stapleton wrote this Traveller cut with bluegrass songwriters and vocalists Ronnie Bowman and Jerry Salley. He recalled: "This is a song that was born out of the music. I had the guitar lick long before there was a melody or lyric. Writing with Ronnie Bowman and Jerry Salley I offered up the riff. We didn't get very far that day, but Jerry and Ronnie did get us to a verse melody. Turns out it was enough. Before we could get back together to finish it, I had lyrics come to me that seemed to fit the mood. Pieces of my own life that I felt convicted to sing about and share."
