Lyrics:
All night singing at saloons and bars
Playing for pennies, picking guitar
But I couldn’t make it as a Country star
So now I’m living the life of an outlaw
It started when I’d lost a poker game
My meager wages gambled down the drain
So I tried robbing a fast moving train
But I didn’t pull it off quite like Jesse James
And I wound up in prison for the deeds that I did
Tried to bribe the bailiff with my last guitar pick
When I’d paid my time, they let me loose
And I got to make my second debut
I walked out of the bank with two bags of money
For a moment I felt like Butch Cassidy
Oh that feeling was lost when the sheriff rode in
Sporting a gun on his black stallion
He pulled his revolver, looked me in the eye
I thought then and there I was bound to die
He fired a shot, gave me a good scare
So I dropped the bags put my hands in the air
And I wound up in prison for the deeds that I did
Busted straight out like Billy the Kid
But as I jumped up over the fence
They caught me and brought me back to the pen
Finally got my moment to shine
Oh standing in the blinding penitentiary lights
I sang and I sang but the applause never came
Back behind bars, I’m going insane
I’m sitting here in prison for the deeds that I did
Finally learned some slick guitar licks
They said I’d be here till my dying day
But I just signed a deal with RCA
