AMERICAN OUTLAWS Hear the blast from a shotgun Seemed to disappear into the night Ain 't no two-bit lawman Got a chance in hell of takin ' my life Spend most of my nights down by a campfire Light up the stars with my game Left home at only fifteen Started out to make my name And we were american outlaws Ridin ' across the plain From Montana down to Mexico Tryin ' to find a better way (repeated) I see our names on railroad posters Sayin ' we 're wanted all around this land Got ambushed by 16 enemy soldiers At the creek just north of Choctaw Canyon (repeated) Bullets spread out over the horizon There was no fear in our eyes Hear they sent 16 in to get us Word is that only two survived. Chorus (repeated) 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 (repeated) Some say we 're no longer livin Half a million voices took our lives If you hear the blast from a shotgun Might see us reappear into the night Chorus Hear the blast from a shotgun Seemed to disappear into the night Ain 't no two-bit lawman Got a chance in hell of takin ' my life Spend most of my nights down by a campfire Light up the stars with my game Left home at only fifteen Started out to make my name And we were american outlaws Ridin ' across the plain From Montana down to Mexico Tryin ' to find a better way I see our names on railroad posters Sayin ' we 're wanted all around this land Got ambushed by 16 enemy soldiers At the creek just north of Choctaw Canyon Bullets spread out over the horizon There was no fear in our eyes Hear they sent 16 in to get us Word is that only two survived.
