‘Outlaw’ is a really weird track in the best way possible. It...
[Verse 1]
You've been riding this horse a long time
Why can't you find what you've been lookin' for?
Always greener on the other side
Always believin' there must be something more
[Pre-Chorus]
Never stay very long anywhere
As the next girl you leave gets smaller
In your rearview mirror
[Chorus]
You're an outlaw, you're an outlaw
You're an outlaw runnin' from love
You're an outlaw, you're an outlaw
You're an outlaw runnin' from love
If you tear her world apart, you have no regrets
If there's a key to your heart, no one's found it yet
You're an outlaw, you're an outlaw
You're an outlaw runnin' from love
[Verse 2]
Your reputation's getting out of control
I can't believe she believes one word you said
Before I let you take my girlfriend home
I've got to warn her about the price on your head
[Pre-Chorus]
It must feel so alone out there
Always runnin' away from someone
But you get nowhere
[Chorus]
You're an outlaw, you're an outlaw
You're an outlaw runnin' from love
You're an outlaw, you're an outlaw
You're an outlaw runnin' from love
If you tear her world apart, you have no regrets
If there's a key to your heart, no one's found it yet
You're an outlaw, you're an outlaw
You're an outlaw runnin' from love
[Bridge]
I'm from the Lone Star State
I'm ready to bring you in, oh
I'm gonna seal your fate
Make you pay for all of your sins, oh, oh-oh
You've been riding this horse a long time
I've had my eye on you all night
I'm gonna find a way to make you mine
I know, even though
[Chorus]
You're an outlaw, you're an outlaw
You're an outlaw runnin' from love
You're an outlaw, you're an outlaw
You're an outlaw runnin' from love
If you tear her world apart, you have no regrets
If there's a key to your heart, no one's found it yet
You're an outlaw, you're an outlaw
You're an outlaw runnin' from love
[Outro]
Stop runnin'
Outlaw was written by Selena Gomez & Antonina Armato & Tim James.

In the bridge, it says I’m from the Lone Star State, which makes me very happy, because I’m very proud of where I came from. But it’s actually kind of spooky and really pretty. That’s the only way I can describe it. It’s a very fun, weird track.
