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
