He's a man Some would say an outlaw But underneath the surface A simple man, doing what he can He goes to work Early in the morning up with the sun He's working his fingers to the bone. He's a workingman, doing what he can Barely gets by with a roof over his head Stays with his cousin and a couple of his friends He doesn't speak the language that we're used to hearing No, he's a simple man doing the best he can Who's to blame Is it the mother looking for a better life Or looking for a better way Don't we all dream the same There may be trouble Cause he's walking along a fine line Between freedom and doing time A desperado with no crime When the stakes got high he became a gambling man Nowhere to go and nothing left to loose He took a chance hoping he would find He'd find a better place and he'd find a better time He's got faith stronger than you'll ever know Take his pride but you'll never take his soul You can call him an outlaw but he's just a man He's a simple man, doing the best he can Yea he's got faith stronger than you'll ever know Take his pride but you can never never never never take his soul You can call him an outlaw but he's just a man Yea he's a simple man, doing the best he can Yea he's a simple man You can call him an outlaw You can call him an outlaw but he's just a man Yea he's a simple man, doing the best he can Doing the best he can
