Lyrics
Outlaw
Long gun on a man of steel
A new town - a past to conceal
Bar fly - so needing to feel
Too young and hot
Forget me not
Black bullet - whiskey jar
Looking for love at the local bar
How did he make it - oh, make it this far
Too long - all alone
Unloved - that's all he's known
Show down with a local girl
Such magic - she sets to whirl
Melts his gun and destroys his world
Outlaw in the night
Only wanted for delight
He loved - but lost the deal
His heart may never heal
Rides out on a railroad wheel
Outlaw - riding the night
Running from delight
Forget me not
Forget me not
Forget me not
Forget me not... p2009
