So you wanna be an outlaw, better take it from me.
Living on the highway, ain't everything it's suppose to be.
Everybody reckons that they wanna be free.
Aint no body wants to be aloneStumblin in the alley at a quarter to three.
Hollaring after Sally, "Honey, what you trying to do to me."
Told me "Go to hell, i'm going back to Tennessee."
I said, "Angel, you can never go home."Never go home.
Never go home.
If you wanna be an outlaw you can never go home.So you wanna be outlaw, better listen up kid.
Steal a million dollar and you have to keep it hid.
Aint no place to spend it in the desert if you did.
And you can't take it with you when you go.
Always something laying for you up around the bend.
Everything that goes around comes back around again.
You cant trust anybody, not a lover or a friend.
Your momma, maybe, then you never know.Never do know. (Never do know.)
Never do know. (No, you never do know.)
If you wanna be an outlaw, then you never do know.So you wanna be an outlaw, son you better think twice.
You better not pout and you better not cry.
Cuz there won't nobody give a damn about you when you die.
But the devil when he comes for his due.When you're standing at the cross roads, don't you try to flag a ride.
Don't you fall down on your knees, don't you do what's already been tried.
Hate to tell you but the only the left side is to sing the devil out of the blues.
Singing the blues.
Keep on singing the blues.
Sing the "So you wanna be an outlaw" Blues.Hey Hey.
