I am an out-law,
-6 7 -8 -8 -8 -8 8
I was born an out-law’s son
7 8 8 8 8 8 -8 8
The high-way is my leg-a-cy
8 7 -8 -8 -8 -8 -87-6
On the high-way I will run
-6 8 8 8 8 8 8-87
In one hand I’ve a Bi-ble
-6 7 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8
In the oth-er I’ve got a gun
-6 -10 9 -10 -10
Well, don’t you know me
-8 -8 -8 -8 -8
I’m the man who won
-10-10 -10 9 9 8 -8
Wom-an don’t try to love me
7 -8 -8 -8 8 -87-6
Don’t try to un-der-stand
7 -10 9 9 9 8 -8
A life up-on the road
7 7 -8 -8 7 8 8 -87-6
is the life of an out-law 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
oo….

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 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

8 8 -8 8 -8 7 8
When you got no life to lose
-8 7 8 8 -8 7 -87-6
Then there’s noth-in’ left to gain
9 -10 10 -10 10 -10
Out-law man Out-law man
