Lyrics
Outlaw
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Live or die, stand or run
Shoot them down, smoking gun
In the time it takes to tell
Another dreamer sent to Hell
Just like movies, time to move
Bad gunslinger, evil dude
Know you're fast, hope you're quick
Quick draw, gun law, make your hit
Born to shoot, hope it's true
Today you know the slow one's you
Outlaw, outlaw, cut down in your prime
Outlaw, outlaw
See the blue sky one last time
Outlaw, outlaw, that's all
Live or die, win or lose
Can't be sure, no excuse
In the street a man lies dead
Another dreamer bloody red
Just in time, lightning speed
Frozen moment, time to bleed
Know it's all about to change
Try, die or live again
Born to die, we all know that
Today you know the first is last
Outlaw, outlaw, cut down in your tracks
Outlaw, outlaw
So much for the men in black
Outlaw, outlaw, that's all
Die or live, shoot to kill
The old routine you know so well
Gun law rules, that's what I said
Another dreamer woke up dead
Justice means the fastest gun
No appeal, done is done
Know it's quick, hanging tree
Courthouse, whorehouse, set you free
Born to live, don't know how long
Never know right from wrong
Outlaw, outlaw, face down in the dirt
Outlaw, outlaw
The one that kills you never hurts
Outlaw, outlaw, laying in the street
Outlaw, outlaw
The last gunslinger you will meet
Outlaw, outlaw, that's all
