Mama, I’m An Outlaw
Mama, I'm an outlaw
Ridin' on the devil's hair
I said that I'm an outlaw
Catch me if you can
I'm shootin' my way out
There's nothin' stoppin' me
I'll probably get real famous (uh-huh)
Just you wait and see

Come on coppers, shoot my way
I can dodge those bullets night and day
I'll get my picture in the paper
For pulling off this lousy caper

Mama, I'm an outlaw
Makin' it real big (uh-huh)
Everybody knows me
They'll have to take me dead

Alive or dead
There's a price upon my head
I'll grab my gun and grill some meat
And hightail it right down the street

Yes, I'm an outlaw
Hehehehehehe
Crime doesn't pay (uh-huh)
Hehehehehehe
Come on coppers, shoot my way
I can dodge those bullets night and day
I'll get my picture in the paper
For pulling off this lousy caper
