Well, she used to be an ordinary cowgirl She could handle her daddy's gun when she was young And I never believed she'd turn out to be an outlaw Now she is the rebel on the run
Now she's a stranger, always in danger A black angel on the run But I'm gonna get her, I won't let her disappear out of my life Like she's always done before
Got a shotgun by her side, gunpowder in the fires and boy, as she rides She just eliminates troubles times with her knives She's a suffragette and she'll always be a refugee Seems like she's always been the black sheep of her family
Now she's a stranger, always in danger A black angel on the run But I'll never get her, will I ever learn? She'll repeat the lines I've heard so many times before
She says, "Don't follow me, I'm lost too Don't follow me, I'm lost too Don't follow me, I'm lost too Baby, I'm lost just like you Yeah, I'm lost just like you Don't follow me now, yeah"
I recall she got lost already at the age of seventeen Her daddy told, she was always in the wrong company She was my teenage love, the queen of the big, big rodeo And I remember what she was always tellin' to me Yeah, yeah, and I remember what she was always tellin' to me
Oh, she said, "Don't follow me, I'm lost too Don't follow me, I'm lost too Don't follow me, I'm lost too Baby, I'm not just like you"
