Half
Verse 1
Long hard trails underneath the Texas sun
rode into the town, I was looking for some action.
Drier than a cactus had my back against the wall
sucking down the hooch, I heard the stranger yell, "Draw!"
Tried to do some talking, but his hand was on his gun
I was quicker to the trigger, and now I'm on the run.
Chorus 2
(Cause I'm an outlaw) running like the rest
no one buys my story that I shot in self-defense.
(Cause I'm an outlaw) running from the pack
baby here they come, now they're breathing down my back.
Verse 2
Hi-ho silver, yeah they're coming after me
gotta keep moving, they'll hang me from an oak tree.
Tell my wife and kids, I'll see them when I can
gotta keep moving, I'm a wanted man.
Tried to do some talking but his gun was at my head
quicker to the trigger and I pumped him full of lead.
Chorus 2
(Cause I'm an outlaw) running like the rest
no one buys my story that I shot in self-defense.
(Cause I'm an outlaw) running from the pack
baby here they come, now they're breathing down my back.

Chorus 3
(Cause I'm an outlaw) running like the rest
no one buys my story that I shot in self-defense.
(Cause I'm an outlaw) running from the pack
baby here they come, now they're breathing down my back.
