I am an outlaw I was bo rn an outlaw's son
Th e 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
We ll don' you know me I' m the man who won
Wo man don't t ry to love me Don't t ry to unders tand
A l ife upon the r oad is the l ife of an outl aw m an
Fi rst left my woman it was down in Santa Fe
He aded for Oklahoma I was ridin' night and day
Al l of my friends are strangers
Th ey quickly come and go
An d all my love's in danger
'C ause I steal hearts and souls
Wo man don't t ry to love me Don't t ry to unders tand
A l ife upon the r oad is the l ife of an outl aw m an
Wo man don't t ry to love me Don't t ry to unders tand
A l ife upon the r oad is the l ife of an outl aw m an
So me me call me Abel So me men call me Cain
So me men call me sinner Lord So me men call me saint
So me say there's a Jesus So me men say there ain't
Wh en you got no life to lose Th en there's nothin' left to gain
