[Verse 1]
So, you never picked no peaches
Never rode your boxcar train
Never worked out on the road gang
Or slept out in the rain
But when you see a good man
Have to struggle, sweat, and strain
When a man can't feed his children
Don’t it make you stop and think?
[Chorus]
Are they gonna make us outlaws again?
Is that what it's comin' to, my friends?
Well, I think I see why Pretty Boy Floyd done the things he did
Are they gonna make us outlaws again?
[Verse 2]
Well I tell you folks, there’s trouble
And there's tension everywhere
And everybody's asking
"Where's it gonna end?"
But there ain't nobody answerin'
There ain't nobody there
Well I tell you folks, there's trouble
There’s trouble everywhere
[Chorus]
Are they gonna make us outlaws again?
Is that what it’s comin' to, my friends?
Well, I think I see why Pretty Boy Floyd done the things he did
Are they gonna make us outlaws again?
[Verse 3]
Well, it’s hard times and bread lines
Ain't no sight to see
When a man is hungry
It ain't no crazy dream
Well, the blues is fine for singin'
But it’s might hard to eat
If the engines won't keep rollin'
If they ain't got gasoline
[Chorus]
Are they gonna make us outlaws again?
Is that what it's comin' to, my friends?
Well, I think I see why Pretty Boy Floyd done the things he did
Are they gonna make us outlaws again?
[Verse 3]
Well, there's always been a bottom
And there's always been a top
And someone took the orders
And someone called the shots
And someone took the beatin', Lord
And someone got the prize
That may be the way it's been
But that don't mean it's right
[Chorus]
Are they gonna make us outlaws again?
Is that what it's comin' to, my friends?
Well, I think I know why Pretty Boy Floyd done the things he did
Are they gonna make us outlaws again?
Are they gonna make us outlaws again?
[Outro]
I believe they make us outlaws again
