(Verse 1)

                       
We were ridin' through the flatlands
                                 
We were searchin' for two prisoners
               
Who just broke jail

Tall one and a lean one
             
Rode a chestnut stallion
          
And the word was from the main man
               
He was mean as hell


(Chorus)

        
An outlaw is a man who never understands
               
A word called danger
                            
He learns to shoot and ride as a child
                     
And never trust a stranger


(Verse 2)

                               
And he's always called a better man

We chased him to the border
               
All the way to El Paso
     
The ride was long the ride was hard
                            
But the sheriff said "we can't let him go"
         
He said "let me tell you somethin'"
                    
"I been trackin' for a long time"
      
They never trust a stranger 
                           
And they take care of their own


(Chorus)

   
An outlaw is a man who never understands
               
A word called danger
    
He learns to shoot and ride as a child
                     
And never trust a stranger


(Verse 3)

                               
And he's always called a better man
  
Today's man is an outlaw
                   
On that long road to freedom
 
You work him hard you take his pride
                 
And then you try to cheat him
                                        
Then one day you figure out it's a long,long story
                                      
An outlaw is a man that takes care of his own


(Chorus)

               
An outlaw is a man who never understands
               
A word called danger
                             
He learns to shoot and ride as a child
                     
And never trust a stranger


                               
And he's always called a better man
                  / 
Never trust a stranger
                  / 
Never trust a stranger
             
Never trust a stranger
