Outlaw Girl Lyrics - Singles - One Minute Millionaires

Well it really isn't so bad, living life this way 

I prefer the cold hard ground to that bed in which you lay 

I'd rather live in loneliness than have others wish me well 

The outlaw life don't pay me much, but honest work is hell 

So Johnny was our lookout, while Billy barred the door 

And I had all the townsfolk, facedown on the floor 

We never tried to plan this, and won't get that dial to turn 

We'll just blow the damn thing open, and take what doesn't burn 

Then we'll shoot up the town at about high noon 

And stumble into the only saloon, to find me a beautiful girl I can call my own 

Then we'll ride due west at the sound of a train 

Stumble through all the mud and the rain 

Take you anywhere in this whole wide world 

To be my outlaw girl 

Well I knew it wouldn't be too long before the posse caught our track 

Billy was bleeding heavy from two bullets in his back 

They saw God watches over the drunkards and the fools 

God must love his outlaws, 'cause I'm both of those too 

So the sheriff come a'knockin', about a quarter after ten 

With about 150 guns on at least 200 men 

The money ain't what ails us, it's the hearts that hold you dear 

The women all looked westward for the outlaw to appear 

Well I walked that lonely mile 

And they lynched me before dawn 

I knew that I was dyin', 'cause the women carried on 

Don't look for me in heaven, Peter just won't let me in 

And you won't find me down in hell, 'cause it's full of all my kin
