I'm an outlaw, always been
Living in the street since I don't know when
Sleep by day and I move by night
Things could go wrong, but I make 'em right
Cut loose the dogs that are on my trail
I only keep in touch by the U.S. mail
I'm the fire in the gun
And the bullet's the run
For the last twenty years I've been running
Nowhere to catch me, I'm too hard to find
Keep up with a man like me, ain't moving
Suddenly fall out of sight
Blazin' with no place to go
Pumping like the engine of the locomotive
Don't try to stop me when I'm on the run
You can hear me when I start to run
'Cause I'm an outlaw
Proud of my profession, can't you see?
A damned rebel, a cup pursuer
When I do wrong, it don't matter to me
Settle down, Daddy, what my lady say
Preach me a sermon another day
Horses moving faster than the wild night
Waking up the empty streets
My clothes are worn from years of travel
But they've become a part of me
A man on the hunt who's hungry for blood
Doesn't ever get in my way
People learn fast when I lay 'em dead
It's better to move out the way
'Cause I'm an outlaw
And I'm proud of my profession, can't you see?
A damned rebel, a cup pursuer
When I do wrong, it don't matter to me
Sit your ass down, that's what my lady say
Preach me a sermon another day
