I'm leaning on the overpass skidmarks on the road Things I grew up doin I never did outgrow Middle of those runnin years she walked into my life She couldn't get the devil out of me Lord knows she tried She was right as rain she was good as gold but I wouldn't change And now she's gone, I'm just not the same. It's hard to be an outlaw out run or out draw The laws of life that you once could ignore It's a desperate desperado that can't see through his sorrow That he was runnin from or runnin for Oh it's hard to be an outlaw When you're not wanted anymore. There was no where left to turn to but back to my old self Livin like there's no tomorrow now it's somethin else The trails I used to live to blaze are winding up dead ends. With a voice inside my head reminding me what could have been I was wild as the wind as cold as they come thinkin I was cool Now lookin back, I'm lookin at a fool. Chorus Instrumental: It's a desperate desperado that can't see through his sorrow That he was runnin from or runnin for Oh it's hard to be an outlaw When you're not wanted anymore.
