You were better than the best, stayed a notch above the rest
It was rainin' in heaven when you went down
Your mother cried, said she told you so
But you touched the devil and couldn't let go, yeah
No one controls the Outlaw

You wrote the story with the movie in mind, an angel face with a criminal side
Celebrated as the rebel kind, the Outlaw

I wonder if you knew they would turn your bad deeds into good
Paint you as a modern Robin Hood
It's high noon everywhere you go
And the guilt you feel is the weary soul, yeah, of the Outlaw

Hearts weren't made to be ruled, and rules weren't made to be broken
It's cold and lonely at the end of your life
And nobody sleeps 'til they turn out the lights for the Outlaw

Where you gonna go, where you gonna hide, it's cold and lonely for the Outlaw
Where you gonna go, where you gonna hide, as the Outlaw
