' Outlaw Ballad ... ' (Part 1 of 2) (Cowboy Poem # 9)

You Rode Into My Town Gunned all The Lonely Deputies Down Blew-Up The Bank Of Trust, In Our Face … Where, There Was Hope … Is Now Empty Space … … Now, I Gotta Chase You ! … Outlaw ! Armed and Dangerous Outlaw ! Jesse James, Would Be Jealous … of You – Outlaw ! You’re Outrageous … … and You’re An Outlaw ! … Stealing Hearts, Like They Was Gold … Silver Bullets, Are The Lies, You Told Just A Masked-Man, Running Away … No Longing-Arms, Can Make You Stay … This Is Where You Pay (Now) ! … Outlaw ! # 1 On Our Wanted List … Outlaw ! They Told Me You Never Miss ! … Outlaw ! … In A Duel, or A Quick Kiss … … You’re An Outlaw ! Rustlin’ Cows and Cheating at Cards Done Knocked Down, Many A Weak and Off-Guard I Will Chase You Long and Hard To Show You, How It Feels To Be Scarred … … My Personal Reward ! … Outlaw ! $ 10,000.00 Reward Outlaw ! A Dollar, For Each Broken Heart Outlaw ! … Better Get A Head-Start … Outlaw ! Chorus: Oh, I didn’t do Anything / That’s What All Outlaws Sing! Oh, I didn’t do Anything / Then, This is Just A Real Bad Dream! Oh, I didn’t do Anything / Stop! … Then, Where’s Her Dadgum Ring? … Outlaw … You Avoid Honor, Like A Hangman’s Noose Out There, Wild and Still Running Loose Wanted Posters, Up On Every Wall When They Look At It … Tears Just Fall … … You’re A Real Quick-Draw ! … Outlaw ! Look At That Brim … Outlaw ! Cocked-Low, Like A Trigger-Rim … Outlaw ! … Yeah, That’s Him ! … … It’s The Outlaw ! … This is Showdown For Nerves-On-Edge No More Hide-Outs; Not Another Hedge No More Ladies, Lying On A Ledge No More Lies, Or A Broken Pledge … … See This Badge !!! … Outlaw ! I Shoot Straight From A Curve-Hip … Outlaw ! You Won’t Get To Give Me The Slip … Outlaw ! You’re Gonna Get Wild-Whipped … Outlaw ! Chorus: Girl, I Know You’re Hurtin’ / But He Was Only Flirtin’ Luv, Stop Your Crying / Break Free From His Lying Hon, I’m Doing You A Favor / He Ain’t Never Gonna Put No Ring On Your Finger … He’s An Outlaw ! (Part One of Two)
