Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We were ridin' through the flatlands
We were searchin' for two prisoners who just broke jail
Tall one and the lean one rode a chestnut stallion
And the word was from the main man, he was mean as hell
[Verse 2]
An outlaw is a man who never understands
A word called danger
He learns to shoot and ride as a child
Never trusts a stranger
And he's always called a better man
[Verse 3]
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 'em go"
He said, "Let me tell you something
I've been trackin' for a long time
But they never trust a stranger and they take care of their own"
[Verse 4]
An outlaw is a man who never understands
A word called danger
He learns to shoot and ride as a child
Never trusts a stranger
And he's always called a better man
[Verse 5]
Today's man is an outlaw
On that long road to freedom
You work him hard, 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 who takes care of his own
[Verse 6]
An outlaw is a man who never understands
A word called danger
He learns to shoot and ride as a child
Never trusts a stranger
And he's always called a better man
[Verse 7]
Never trust a stranger
Never trust a stranger
Never trust a stranger
