Well, 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 got a gun But don't you know me? Well, I'm the man who won Woman, don't try love me, don't try to understand The life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man I first left my woman, it was down in Santa Fe Headed for Oklahoma, I was riding night and day Well, all 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 love me, don't try to understand The life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man Woman, don't try love me, don't try to understand The life upon the road is the life of an outlaw Some men call me Abel, some men call me Cain Some call me a sinner, Lord, some call me insane Some say there's a Jesus, some say there ain't When you got no life to lose, when there's nothing left to gain Outlaw man Outlaw man Outlaw man Outlaw man
