A
I'm leaning on the overpass skidmarks on the road
E
Things I grew up doin I never did outgrow
A
Middle of those runnin years she walked into my life
             Dbm                     B
She couldn't get the devil out of me Lord knows she tried
A                                          B
She was right as rain she was good as gold but I wouldn't change
A                                     B
And now she's gone, I'm just not the same.

[Chorus]
     E                    F#m
It's hard to be an outlaw out run or out draw
    A                                  E     B
The laws of life that you once could ignore
       E                        F#m
It's a desperate desperado that can't see through his sorrow
     D                           B
That he was runnin from or runnin for
         A                    B
Oh it's hard to be an outlaw When you're not wanted anymore.

[Instrumental]

A
There was no where left to turn to but back to my old self
E
Livin like there's no tomorrow now it's somethin else
A
The trails I used to live to blaze are winding up dead ends.
       Dbm                               B
With a voice inside my head reminding me what could have been
A                                           B
I was wild as the wind as cold as they come thinkin I was cool
A                                 B
Now lookin back, I'm lookin at a fool.

[Chorus]
     E                    F#m
It's hard to be an outlaw out run or out draw
    A                                  E     B
The laws of life that you once could ignore
       E                        F#m
It's a desperate desperado that can't see through his sorrow
     D                           B
That he was runnin from or runnin for
         A                    B
Oh it's hard to be an outlaw When you're not wanted anymore.

It's a desperate desperado that can't see through his sorrow
     D                           B
That he was runnin from or runnin for

Oh it's hard to be an outlaw When you're not wanted anymore.
