 (Verse 1)
We  were ridin' through  the flatlands
We  were searchin'  for two prisoners
 Who just  broke jail
Tall  one and a lean one
 Rode  a chestnut  stallion
And  the word  was from the main man
 He  was mean as hell
 (Chorus)
An  outlaw is a man who never understands
 A word called danger
 He learns  to shoot and ride as a child
 And never trust a stranger
 (Verse 2)
 And he's always  called  a better man
We  chased him to the border
 All the way to  El Paso
 The ride  was long the ride was hard
 But the sheriff said  "we can't let  him go"
He  said "let  me tell you somethin'"
 "I been trackin'  for  a long  time"
 They never  trust a stranger
 And they take  care of their own
 (Chorus)
 An outlaw  is a man who never understands
 A word called danger
 He learns  to shoot and ride as a child
 And never trust a stranger
 (Verse 3)
 And he's always  called  a better man
Today's  man is an outlaw
 On that long road  to freedom
 You  work him hard you take his pride
 And then  you try  to cheat  him
 Then  one day you figure out it's a long,long  story
An outlaw  is a man that takes  care of his own
 (Chorus)
 An outlaw  is a man who never understands
 A word called danger
 He learns  to shoot and ride as a child
 And never trust a stranger
 And he's always  called  a better man
 Never  trust  a stranger
 Never  trust  a stranger
 Never  trust  a stranger
