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've got a gun Well don' you know me 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 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 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 me 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 nothin' left to gain OUTL-A-W M-A-N OUTL-A-W M-A-N
