They were duelin', Doolin-Dalton,
high or low, it was the same.
Easy money and faithless women,
redeye whiskey for the pain.
Go down, Bill Dalton, it must be God's will,
two brothers lyin' dead in Coffeyville.
Two voices call to you from where they stood.
lay down your lawbooks now, they're no damn good.
Better keep on movin', Doolin-Dalton,
till your shadow sets you free.
If you're fast and if you're lucky,
you will never see that hangin' tree.
Well, the towns lay out across the dusty plains
like graveyards filled with tombstones
waitin' for the names.
And a man could use his back or-use his brains,
but some just went stir crazy, Lord, 'cause
nothin' ever changed
till Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton
He was workin' cheap, just bidin' time.
Then he laughed and said, \"I'm goin'\",
and so he left that peaceful life behind

It's another tequila sunrise
Starin' slowly cross the sky, said goodbye
He was just a hired hand
Workin' on the dreams he planned to try
The days go by

Every night when the sun goes down
Just another lonely boy in town
And she's out runnin round

She wasn't just another woman
And I couldn't keep from comin' on
It's been so long
Oh, and it's a hollow feelin' when
It comes down to dealin' friends
It never ends

Take another shot of courage
Wonder why the right words never come
You just get numb
It's another tequila sunrise,this old world
Still looks the same,
Another frame, mm...

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow

Don' you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no youger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're loosin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you,
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late

I am an outlaw, I was born an outlaw's son
The highway is my legacy
On the highway I will run
In one hand I've a bible
In the other I've got a gun
Well, don't you know me
I'm the man who won
Woman don't try to love me
Don't try to understand
A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man

First left my woman, it was down in Santa Fe
Headed for Oklahoma, I was ridin' night and day
All of my friends are strangers,
They quickly come and go

And all my loves in danger,
'cause I steal hearts and souls
Woman, don't try to love me
Don't try to understand
A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man
Oo....

Woman, don't try to love me
Don't try to understand
A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man

Some men call me abel,
Some men call me cain,
Some men call me sinner, lord
Some men call me saint

Some say theres a Jesus
Some men say there ain't
When you got no life to lose
Then theres nothin' left to gain
Outlaw man
Outlaw man
