Long hard trails underneath the Texas sun
Rode into the town I was lookin' for some action
Drier than a cactus had my back against the wall
Suckin' down the hooch when I heard the stranger yell "Draw!"
Tried to do some talkin' but his hand was on his gun
I was quicker to the trigger so now I'm on the run
No I'm an outlaw running like the rest
No one buys my story that I shot in self defence
Outlaw, runnin' from the pack
Baby here they come, yeah they're breathin' down my back
Hi-ho silver, now they're comin' after me
Gotta keep movin' or they'll hang me from an old tree
Tell my wife and kids I'll see them when I can
Gotta keep movin' I am a wanted man
Tried to do some talkin' but his gun was at my head
Quicker to the trigger and I pumped him full of lead
Rode into the town I was lookin' for some action
Drier than a cactus had my back against the wall
Suckin' down the hooch when I heard the stranger yell "Draw!"
Tried to do some talkin' but his hand was on his gun
I was quicker to the trigger so now I'm on the run
No one buys my story that I shot in self defence
Outlaw, runnin' from the pack
Baby here they come, yeah they're breathin' down my back
Gotta keep movin' or they'll hang me from an old tree
Tell my wife and kids I'll see them when I can
Gotta keep movin' I am a wanted man
Quicker to the trigger and I pumped him full of lead
