I see my face up on every wall In the big saloon or on city hall I'm a wanted man I'm a wanted man, it seems That the sheriff doesn't want me in this town But I ain't scared I'm gonna hold my ground I gotta fight for the way I want to live
I'm an outlaw, baby I'm the bandit that you made me If you play your cards right I swear I'll cheat ya lady Then I'll run out of town You'll never track me down, I swear So put up your dukes Put a quarter in the juke box Keep that old honky tonk playing a fighting song Let the fists fly and the voices shout I'm the type of cowboy That your mother warned you about
Sometimes I think that I really enjoy this The gunfights, the looting And the bar maids are gorgeous But when I go hang out with the gang Robbin banks ain't been the same since You and I, we'll way back when When you and I were more then friends What happened back then?
I'm an outlaw, baby I'm the bandit that you made me If you play your cards right I swear I'll cheat ya lady Then I'll run out of town You'll never track me down, I swear So put up your dukes Put a quarter in the juke box Keep that old honky tonk playing a fighting song Let the fists fly and the voices shout I'm the type of cowboy That your mother warned you about
She warned you about But when the lights go down in this town And when I'm absolutely sure That there is no one around I like to sit and think of you
I'm an outlaw, baby I'm the bandit that you made me If you play your cards right I swear I'll cheat ya lady Then I'll run out of town You'll never track me down, I swear So put up your dukes Put a quarter in the juke box Keep that old honky tonk playing a fighting song Let the fists fly and the voices shout I'm the type of cowboy That your mother warned you about
