Verse 1

Bessie was a lovely child from West Tennessee

Leroy was an outlaw hard and mean

One day she saw him starring & it chilled her to the bone

She knew she had to see that look on a child of her own

Chorus

'Cause ladies love outlaws

Like babies love stray dogs

Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold

Outlaws touch ladies somewhere deep down in their soul

Verse 2

Linda was a lady,blonde and built to last

Benny was a no good guitar picker,running from his past

She heard all his songs telling nothing but bad news

But she made her mind up to try to get him win or lose

Chorus.

Verse 3

Jessie like cadillacs & diamonds on her hands

Waymore had a reputation as a lady's man

Late one night her light of love finally gave a sign

Jessie parked her cadillac and took her place in line

Chorus
