So you wanna be an outlaw, better take it from me
Living on the highway, aint everything its suppose to be
Everybody reckons that they wanna be free
Aint no body wants to be alone
Stumblin in the alley at a quarter to three
Hollaring after Sally, Honey, what you trying to do to me.
Told me Go to hell, im going back to Tennessee.
I said, Angel, you can never go home.
Never go home
Never go home
If you wanna be an outlaw you can never go home
So you wanna be outlaw, better listen up kid
Steal a million dollar and you have to keep it hid
Aint no place to spend it in the desert if you did
And you cant take it with you when you go
Always something laying for you up around the bend
Everything that goes around comes back around again
You cant trust anybody, not a lover or a friend
Your momma, maybe, then you never know
Never do know. Never do know.
Never do know. No, you never do know.
If you wanna be an outlaw, then you never do know
So you wanna be an outlaw, son you better think twice
You better not pout and you better not cry
Cuz there wont nobody give a damn about you when you die
But the devil when he comes for his due
When youre standing at the cross roads, dont you try to flag a ride
Dont you fall down on your knees, dont you do whats already been tried
Hate to tell you but the only the left side is to sing the devil out of the blues
Singing the blues
Keep on singing the blues
Sing the So you wanna be an outlaw Blues
Hey Hey
