Ladies Love Outlaws ​The Everly Brothers

[Verse 1]
Bessie was a lovely child from West Tennessee
Leroy was an outlaw, hard-eyed and mean
One day she saw him staring and it chilled her to the bone
And she knew she had to see that look on a child of her own

[Chorus]
'Cause ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
Outlaws touch ladies somewhere deep down in their soul

[Verse 2]
Linda was a lady, blond and built to last
Billy was a no good guitar picker running from his past
Listening to his songs she heard nothing but bad news
Still she made her mind up to get him win or lose

[Chorus]
'Cause ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
Outlaws touch ladies somewhere deep down in their soul

[Verse 3]
Jessie liked the Cadillacs and diamonds for her hand
Waymore had a reputation as a lady's man
Late one night a light of love, finally gave a sign
And Jessie parked her Cadillac and took her place in line
