Am Em
I am an outlaw, I was born an outlaw's son
Am Em
The highway is my legacy On the highway I will run
Am Em
In one hand I've a Bible In the other I've got a gun
Am Em
Well, don' you know me I'm the man who won
** Chorus **
G D Am C
Woman don't try to love me Don't try to understand
G D Am C E
A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man

This album cut was released in April,73 and
I first saw these guys as a warm-up band at
the Warehouse in Naw'lens in June, I knew then
folks would hear a "lot more from those guys".
So, I hope David Blue would not mind, if I added
this verse:
Am Em
I, met a woman, 'round 'bout San Antoin'
Am Em
An' late in the evenin', when we were all alone
Am Em
I told her,how I loved her and I held her tight!!
Am
'Cause the next mourin', I was leavin'
Em
Off to another fight!!
** Chorus **
Em Am
First left my woman, it was down in Santa Fe
Em Am
Headed for Oklahoma, I was ridin' night and day
Em
All of my friends are strangers,
Am
They quickly come and go
Em
And all my love's in danger,
Am
'Cause I steal hearts and souls
** Chorus **
Am Em
Some me call me Abel, Some men call me Cain,
Am Em
Some men call me sinner, Lord Some men call me saint
Am Em
Some say there's a Jesus Some men say there ain't
Am Em
When you got no life to lose Then there's nothin' left to gain
Am Em
