I am an out-law,
I was born an out-law's son
The high-way is my leg-a-cy
On the high-way I will run
In one hand I've a Bi-ble
In the oth-er I've got a gun
Well, don't you know me
I'm the man who won
Wom-an don't try to love me
Don't try to un-der-stand
A life up-on the road
is the life of an out-law man
First left my woman, it was down in Santa Fe
Headed for Oklahoma, I was ridin' night and day
All of my friends are strangers,
They quickly come and go
And all my love's in danger,
'Cause I steal hearts and souls
Woman, don't try to love me
Don't try to understand A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw
man
oo....
Woman, don't try to love me
Don't try to understand
A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man
Some men call me Abel,
Some men call me Cain,
Some men call me sinner, Lord
Some men call me saint
Some say there's a Jesus
Some men say there ain't
When you got no life to lose
Then there's noth-in' left to gain
Out-law man Out-law man
