I don't look the way the average cowboy singer looks
|
I'll admit i've taken things i never should of took
|
You can read a different story in a lot of different books
|
But even then you won't really know
|
How it was a long time ago
|
|
Women have been my trouble since i found out they weren't men
|
In spite of that i stopped and took a wife now and then
|
They built their fences high but they couldn't hold me in
|
I was born with a fire down below
|
And i learned to fly a long time ago
|
|
Don't ask me about the years i spent out in the rain
|
About the ones i spent in love or the ones i spent insane
|
Don't ask me who i gave my seat to on that plane
|
I think you already know
|
I told you that a long time ago
|
|
Me and ol' Willie,lordy we've been sold and bought
|
I guess y'all heard about some kind of system that we fought
|
We ain't the only outlaws just the only ones they caught
|
They tried to run us off but Willie's slow
|
I quit running a long time ago
|
