Lyrics

They Still Call Us Outlaws
Terry Eilers-Kincaid and Mariam
BMI 1982

They still call us outlaws, and still say we?re trouble
But we ain?t raised much hell for a long, long time
But too many songs and too many stories
Make it hard for the outlaw to die

No one knows better, the life of an outlaw
Ain?t always what it?s cracked up to be
But there?s no room for changin?, this far down the hill
So I guess I?ll just go on bein? me

Chorus

To hell with what they think, you know they ain?t fit for judgin?
If they choose the way I gotta? see
Cause if livin? life, the way life oughtta? be, makes us outlaws
Then we?ll be outlaws forever, you and me

None of us got long and it ain?t easy sayin?
Why the good lord made us this way
But the mold has been broken and I won?t ask the reason
Or I might have the devil to pay

Now growin? old ain?t ever easy and time?s only trouble
If you ain?t gave it all when you could
And all of those memories, they?ll come back to haunt you
For the things you didn?t do when you should

Chorus
