Outlaw Tom Paxton

You must be an outlaw, a ramblin' man and a gamblin' man of course
Singin' all them outlaw songs about whisky, wine and women and divorce
Y' act like you could kill a man, never know the meaning of remorse
Well, if you're such an outlaw, how come you keep fallin' off your horse?


You like to wear your blue jeans tight; you like to look like you like to fight;
You like them little girls hangin' around when the bad guys come into town
You're tough and mean, you're tall and thin - at least you are when you suck it in
Looks like you've been playin games with Jesse James

But if you're such an outlaw, how come you keep fallin' off your horse?
Singin' all them outlaw songs about whiskey, wine and women and divorce
Y' act like you could kill a man, never know the meaning of remorse
But if you're such an outlaw, such a desperado, how come you keep fallin' off your horse?


...Outlaw!
...Outlaw!
...Outlaw!
