[Verse]

Bm           G         D           Bm
The law's on your side, an' not on mine
Bm        G       D               Bm
Seems I'm runnin' almost, all the time
Bm      G             D               Bm
I never look back, if someone follows close
Bm        G            D          Bm
I just pretend that my shadow's a ghost


[Chorus]

E       D/E
I'm the outlaw
                    E
Where will I run to next
E     D/E
Texas outlaw
                    E
Where will I run to next


[Verse 2]

Bm         G              D     Bm
The Secret Service an' the C.I.A
Bm   G             D           Bm
Everybody knows me by my firs' name
Bm        G         D      Bm
I pack my gun, in a totin' sack
Bm   G             D     Bm
Everybody's always on my back


[Chorus 2]

E       D/E
I'm the outlaw
                    E
Where will I run to next
E     D/E
Texas outlaw
                    E
Where will I run to next


[Bridge]

E                   D                    B
My body's achin' my heart is breakin' in two
B                          E     D      E
I'm tired of runnin' an' I wanna settle down
D            A               B
It seems I'm wanted in every town
B                       E
From Dallas Texas on to San Antonio
D          A     B
The legend of my life goes on
B                            E
Way down in Austin there's a girl who stole my heart
D           A             B
Her love is made of solid gold
B                  E
I gotta go I gotta go
          D  A F#
I' got to go

[Verse 3]

Bm   G              D         Bm
City judge found me guilty of theft
Bm         G               D       Bm
He told me then that I was under arrest
Bm         G           D             Bm
A bail was paid, an' I skipped outta town
Bm                G                   D      Bm
They're out there right now tryin' ta gun me down
