I was born behind the 8 ball Headin' for a sure fall Can't seem to care at all for nothin' On the wrong side of the railroad track Always somebody on my back Always on the old black list for somethin' I'm trying to live my life but it just makes me so wild & mean When I find there ain't no truth in these things that I've seen Livin' for livin' that's all that I understand Don't you fall for me honey I'm just an outlaw man Well I guess I was born to lose Everything 'cept my lonesome blues Everybody got to pay some dues of some kind I've paid more than my share No one said that life was fair Hard to find a soul who cares some time I'm trying to live my life but it just makes me so wild & mean When I find there ain't no truth in these things that I've seen Livin' for livin' that's all that I understand Don't you fall for me honey I'm just an outlaw man
