Playin' The Outlaw

(album: One Vice At Time - 1982)

Oh! Alright!
Come on now...
Get a life
Get a life! (gather up?)

Flat on my back in a hotel bar
With the sound of a jukebox in my head
Wondering how I came so far
Truth be known, I should'a been dead, yeah

Cruising around in a beat up car
High noon comes in a four door saloon
Spending the night with a ten dollar whore
Private hell in a padded room

Playing the outlaw
Taking the back door
Playing the outlaw!

Listen kids to the story so far
Never get caught with a five ace hand
Don't shoot the man with the iron star
You can bet the hangman won't understand

The judge's wife don't ever cheat
Got a tireless body, ya kinda learn to love
Can't stand the loving, can't stand the heat
Life's for living and that's for sure

Playing the outlaw
Taking the back door
Playing the outlaw!

Playing the outlaw
Taking the back door
Playing the outlaw

Playing the outlaw!

Brother, around
