The law's on your side, an' not on mine 

Seems I'm runnin' almost, all the time 

I never look back, if someone follows close 

I just pretend that my shadow's a ghost 


I'm the outlaw... 

Where will I run to next 

Texas outlaw... 

Where will I run to next 


The Secret Service an' the C.I.A. 

Everybody knows me by my firs' name 

I pack my gun, in a totin' sack 

Everybody's always on my back 


I'm the outlaw... 

Where will I run to next 

Texas outlaw... 

Where will I run to next 


My body's achin' my heart is breakin' in two.... 


I'm tired of runnin' an' I wanna settle down 

It seems I'm wanted in every town 

From Dallas Texas on to San Antonio 

The legend of my life goes on 


Way down in Austin there's a girl who stole my heart 

Her love is made of solid gold... 

I gotta go 

I gotta go 

I' got to go 

I gotta go 

I gotta (go....) 


City judge found me guilty of theft 

He told me then that I was under arrest 

A bail was paid, an' I skipped outta town 

They're out there right now tryin' ta gun me down 


I'm the outlaw... 

Where will I run to next 

Texas outlaw... 

Where will I run to next 


I'm the outlaw... 

Where will I run to next 

Texas outlaw... 

Where will I run to next 


I'm the outlaw... 

Where will I run to next
