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've got a gun Well, don' you know me I'm the man who won Woman don't try to love me Don't try to understand A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw 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 Woman, don't try to love me Don't try to understand A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man
