[Verse 1]
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't you know me? 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]
First left my woman, it was down in Santa Fe
Headed for Oklahoma, I was riding 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
[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 men call me Sinner, Lord, and 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 nothing left to gain
[Outro]
