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 
oo.... 

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

Some me call me Abel, 
Some men call me Cain, 
Some men call me sinner, Lord 
Some men call me saint 

Some say there's a Jesus 
Some men say there ain't 
When you got no life to lose 
Then there's nothin' left to gain 
Outlaw man 
Outlaw man
