Southpaw

I shoulda been a cowboy
Livin' in the black hills
Livin' on the outside of the law
Yea crazier than wild Bill
Ridin' my quarter horse
Kickin' in saloon doors
Drinkin' double shots of whiskey, yeah
Wearing my single action piece
For all the honest world to see
I shoulda been an outlaw
Ready for a quick draw
Everybody call me the gun slingin' Southpaw
Ain't no time for runnin
'Cause ya never saw me comin'
I could be dangerous I could be famous
Have my name babe in all the papers
Sayin' I'm wanted, by the law and every woman
Yea they'd call me the Southpaw
I'd be stealin' me some kisses
From every little bar maid
Ridin' every westbound rail
Out on bail say to hell with the James Gang
Livin' underneath the stars
Never give away my heart
Just ride away smiling, yeah
Well they'd never take this boy alive
'Cause don't ya know that legends never die
I shoulda been an outlaw
Ready for a quick draw
Everybody call me the gun slingin' Southpaw
Ain't no time for runnin
'Cause ya never saw me comin'
I could be dangerous I could be famous
Have my name babe in all the papers
Sayin' I'm wanted, by the law and every woman
Yea they'd call me the Southpaw
Yea they'd call me the Southpaw
Well they'd never take this boy alive
Cause don't ya know that legends never die
I shoulda been an outlaw
Ready for a quick draw
Everybody call me the gun slingin' Southpaw
Ain't no time for runnin
'Cause ya never saw me comin'
I could be dangerous I could be famous
Have my name babe in all the papers
Sayin' I'm wanted, by the law and every woman
Yea they'd call me the Southpaw
They'd call me the Southpaw
I could be dangerous I could be famous
Have my name babe in all the papers, yeah
