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't 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.
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 nothin' left to gain.
Outlaw man, outlaw man.
