Outlaw

Story Behind The Song

Set in the wild west, a man is wrongly accused of a murder that he didn't commit. The man leading the posse is the real killer. They chase him all the way to Mexico, where he nearly makes it to freedom.

Song Description

This song was written back in the 70's by my older brother Ron. He never did anything with it, but I always thought it was a good song with a good story and hook. Last summer, I found an old demo of the tune, re-arranged it and recorded it in my home stud

Lyrics

Outlaw

They say he shot a man named Brown

and if he's caught he's gallows bound

Feels the shadow of another man,

who's free to walk upon the land

The very one who murdered Brown

leads the posse that hunts him down

Ahhhh Outlaw

Ahhhh Outlaw

Stays awake, but begins to tire

as he sits near a cracklin' fire

a coyote sings when the moon is bright

He calls for his mate in the night

Hears a noise and he quickly draws

Just a tumbleweed, not the law

Ahhhh Outlaw

Ahhhh Outlaw

Riding fast through the hills

were forty men with a mind to kill

Made his run just a little too slow

and they caught him just a mile from Mexico

Ahhhh Outlaw

Ahhhh Outlaw

A bullet did find him on that day

and they turned around and they rode away

Dead men they say can tell no lies,

but I swear you could read the truth in his eyes

Ahhhh Outlaw

Ahhhh Outlaw
