[Verse 1]
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
Well, don't you know me?
Well, I'm the man who won

[Chorus]
Woman, don't try to love me
Don't try to understand
A life upon the road
Is the life of an outlaw man

[Verse 2]
I first left my woman
It was down in Santa Fe
Headed for Oklahoma
I's ridin' night and day
Well, all of my friends are strangers
Yhey quickly come and go
And all my love's in danger
'Cause I steal hearts and souls
[Chorus]
Woman, don't try to love me
Don't try to understand
A life upon the road
Is the life of an outlaw man

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Woman, don't try to love me
Don't try to understand
A life upon the road
Is the life of an outlaw

[Bridge]
Some men call me Abel
Some men call me Cain
Some call me a sinner, Lord
Some call me a saint
Some say there's a Jesus
Some men say there ain't
When you got no life to lose
Well there's nothing left to gain

[Outro]
Outlaw man
Outlaw man
Outlaw man
Outlaw man
