American Outlaws

(album: Road Of Life - 2008)

Hear the blast from a shotgun
Seemed to disappear into the night
Ain't no two-bit lawman
Got a chance in hell of taking my life

Spend most of my nights down by a campfire
Lying under the stars with my gang
Left home at only fifteen
Started out to make my name

And we were american outlaws
Riding across the plain
From Montana down to Mexico
Trying to find a better way

I see our names on reward posters
Saying we're wanted all around this land
Got ambushed by 16 Union soldiers
At the creek just north of Choctaw Canyon

Bullets sprayed out of the horizon
There was no fear in our eyes
Hear they sent 16 in to get us
Word is that only two survived

And we were american outlaws
Riding across the plain
From Montana down to Mexico
Trying to find a better way

Headed down south to hangouts in Mexico
Gonna to let the smoke clear for a while
Taking that low down dirty tequila
Them senoritas sure make us smile

Some say we're no longer living
That them Union boys they took our lives
If you hear the blast from a shotgun
Might see us reappear into the night

And we were american outlaws
Riding across the plain
From Montana down to Mexico
Trying to find a better way
