Well I'm an outlaw (outlaw)
Running from the storm
From the Tennessee hills to the New Mexico suns (suns, suns)
I got nothing but my name and my pistol by my side (side)
Just let it ride, just let it ride
I ride at night because I sleep all day
The only way I live is the outlaw way
Got my horse packed up and my pistols loaded
If you want to doubt me boy I'll show you
I say click click boom, like Jesse James
Shoot you down but there ain't no shame
Leave you there lying with nothing but your name
Playing Russian roulette because this ain't no game
On every wanted poster from here to the sun
Got myself I don't need no one
All I need is my horse and my gun
Die by the fire, live on the run
Don't count on me waiting for the sunrise
I'll be gone with the moon to free mama
Rolling like a sage bush in the wind (wind, here I come again)
If that sheriff runs me down I just move along to another town
But I just can't say where or when (here I go again)
I'm an outlaw (outlaw)
Running from the storm
From the Tennessee hills to the New Mexico suns (suns, suns)
I got nothing but my name and my pistol by my side (side)
Just let it ride, just let it ride
(See why I bleed, let's go)
I can't tell you the bridges I've burned
People I've hurt, and lessons I've learned
One thing's for sure is I've paid the price
A life all alone is my sacrifice
I don't make no deposits, only withdraws
Banks are like goldmines to all us outlaws
I'm coming to your town and I'm taking your money
Keep your hands high and don't try nothing funny
I'm making my living the fast way
On the run until I pass away
A hundred miles a day on a horse with no name
My pistol can make you hear the angels sing
Only promise I'll ever make you
I'll be long gone before you wake up
Word gets around in a small small town
Now I hear that sheriff wants to take me down
A storm is blowing in, I'm packing up
Riding off through a cloud of dust
Chasing the sun I'm a wanted man
On the run, catch me if you can
Don't count on me waiting for the sunrise
I'll be gone with the moon to free mama
Rolling like a sage bush in the wind (wind, here I come again)
If that sheriff runs me down I just move along to another town
But I just can't say where or when (here I go again)
I'm an outlaw (outlaw)
Running from the storm
From the Tennessee hills to the New Mexico suns (suns, suns)
I got nothing but my name and my pistol by my side (side)
Just let it ride, just let it ride
