Well she knows I'm always livin with one foot out the door
Ya I was born a ramblin man
But she knows me inside out and she knows without a doubt
By her I do the best I can

And she still tells me she loves me
Each and every time
She helps me pack my suit case
Just before I say goodbye

She says outlaw run if you want too
No matter how far away
Outlaw run if you choose too
And I'll love you though your ruff and rowdy days

Well she knows it ain't easy to watch me walk away
And to feel her tear drops fall
But she's torn between the man she loves and the dream he can't quit dreamin of
So her backs against the wall

She knows it the music it's callin me away
She prays it's the music
That's going to change it all for us someday
That's why every time I hear her say

Outlaw run if you want too
No matter how far away
Outlaw run if you choose too
And I'll love you though your ruff and rowdy days

Oh Lord could you help me now
Show me the way
Teach me how to grab a hold
Show me how to let it all go
That way maybe someday
Maybe someday

I won't have to run
If I don't want to
I'll be alright just to stay
I won't have to run
If I don't choose to

And I can put an end to ruff and rowdy days
I put an end... To ruff and rowdy days
