A
I'm leaning on the overpass skidmarks on the road
E
Things I grew up doin I never did outgrow
A
Middle of those runnin years she walked into my life
Dbm B
She couldn't get the devil out of me Lord knows she tried
A B
She was right as rain she was good as gold but I wouldn't change
A B
And now she's gone, I'm just not the same.
E F#m
It's hard to be an outlaw out run or out draw
A E B
The laws of life that you once could ignore
E F#m
It's a desperate desperado that can't see through his sorrow
D B
That he was runnin from or runnin for
A B
Oh it's hard to be an outlaw When you're not wanted anymore.
A B A B
A
There was no where left to turn to but back to my old self
E
Livin like there's no tomorrow now it's somethin else
A
The trails I used to live to blaze are winding up dead ends.
Dbm B
With a voice inside my head reminding me what could have been
A B
I was wild as the wind as cold as they come thinkin I was cool
A B
Now lookin back, I'm lookin at a fool.

It's a desperate desperado that can't see through his sorrow

That he was runnin from or runnin for

Oh it's hard to be an outlaw When you're not wanted anymore.
