Long hard trails underneath the Texas sun

Rode into the town I was lookin' for some action

Drier than a cactus, had my back against the wall

Suckin' down the hooch, when I heard the stranger yell, "Draw!"

Tried to do some talkin', but his hand was on his gun

I was quicker to the trigger, so now I'm on the run



(Chorus)

No I'm an outlaw, running like the rest

No one buys my story, that I shot in self-defense

Outlaw, runnin' from the pack

Baby here they come, yeah they're breathin' down my back



Hi-ho silver, now they're comin' after me

Gotta keep movin' or they'll hang me from an old tree

Tell my wife and kids I'll see them when I can

Gotta keep movin' I am a wanted man



Tried to do some talkin' but his gun was at my head

Quicker to the trigger and I pumped him full of lead
