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