OUTLAW

You're an outlaw, a desperado

And you could steal a woman's heart just passing by

You're an outlaw, a desperado

Another notch in your gun and another woman cries

But even an eagle has to nest sometime

Even a freight train stops somewhere down that line

Even an outlaw can lose his heart sometime

You're gonna lose yours boy, and you'll be looking for mine

Well it was a dark day in September

When I rode into your life

It had been as long as you could remember

That a woman hadn't fallen for one of your lies

But even an eagle has to nest sometime

Even a freight train stops somewhere down that line

Even an outlaw can lose his heart sometime

And you're losing yours boy, and you'll be looking for mine

Well I can ride and I can shoot 

And I know when to shut up and when to speak my mind

And you know that outlaw, he needs someone

He can trust with his quiet time

Even an eagle has to nest sometime

Even a freight train stops somewhere down that line

Even an outlaw can lose his heart sometime

And you've lost yours boy, and I just might

I just might give you mine
