You're an outlaw A desperado And you could steal a woman's heart Just passing by You're an outlaw A desperado Another notch in your gun And another woman cries But even an eagle has to nest sometime Even a freight train stops somewhere down that line Even an outlaw can lose his heart sometime And you're gonna lose yours, boy And you be looking for mine It was a dark day in September When I rode into your life It had been as long as you could remember That a woman hadn't fallen for one of your lies 'Cause even an eagle has to nest sometime Even a freight train stops somewhere down that line Even an outlaw can lose his heart sometime And you're losing yours, boy And you be looking for mine Well, I can ride and I can shoot And I know when to shut up And when to speak my mind And you know that an outlaw, he need someone He can trust with his quiet time 'Cause even an eagle has to nest sometime Even a freight train Stops somewhere down that line Even an outlaw can lose his heart sometime And you've lost yours, boy And I just might I just might give you mine
