Beautiful Outlaw

It was just a night, but not just a night

She was just a girl, but not just a girl

Couldn't see her stripes in the neon haze

Never knew a crime was taking place

And she had looks to kill, baby blues and all

Beautiful outlaw

It was just a dance, but not just a dance

It was just a kiss, but not just a kiss

I got held up in a honky tonk downtown

Reeled in, Shanghaied and shot down

By a wild angel armed with a southern drawl

One beautiful outlaw

She didn't ride into town on no midnight train

No stick 'em up six-shooter or sidekick with a nickname

She oughta be doing time locked up in my arms

Facing 25 to life for starting a fire in a bar

Wish I had a picture, yeah, I'd post her on a wall

One wanted bad, beautiful outlaw

Well, there's a ten and then there's her

I'd roll again and love to hurt

That red bandana tied around her neck

Is the only piece of evidence she left

Well, if I had her number, I'd give her a call

Beautiful outlaw

She didn't ride into town on no midnight train

No stick 'em up six-shooter or sidekick with a nickname

Facing 25 to life for starting a fire in that bar

If I had a picture, I could post her on the wall
