Well, I am an outlaw I was born an outlaw's son The highway is my legacy On the highway I will run In one hand I've a Bible In the other I got a gun Well, don't you know me? Well, I'm the man who won Woman, don't try to love me Don't try to understand A life upon the road Is the life of an outlaw man I first left my woman It was down in Santa Fe Headed for Oklahoma I's ridin' night and day Well, all of my friends are strangers Yhey 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 Woman, don't try to love me Don't try to understand A life upon the road Is the life of an outlaw Some men call me Abel Some men call me Cain Some call me a sinner, Lord Some call me a saint Some say there's a Jesus Some men say there ain't When you got no life to lose Well there's nothing left to gain Outlaw man Outlaw man Outlaw man Outlaw man
