Too many log nights, left out in the storm With no one to hold me or keep me from harm They call me an outlaw and I quess that it's true Cause I get them law down outlaw blues
Now I've tried living straight, like good citizens But I can't settle down, I've just got to move The far away places, keep calling you see Calling the oulaw, that lives inside me
Now it's life in the fast lane, with no turning back Too late I realize, the deck has been stacked With the law close behind me, I'll soon have to pay I may die tomorrow, but I'll do it my way
Should you visit my grave, on some cold stormy day You'll remember I lived, I loved and I paid You may read on my tomb-stone, some win and some lose And some just get them lowdown outlaw blues...
