Outlaw's Prayer
I see the dust of riders closing fast, sheriff and his posse found my trail at last
Slip into my boots and holster my gun, this is the life of an outlaw on the run
Gather what I can; toss it in my pack, saddle up ol' Willie Boy and hop up on his back
Rears up on his hind legs and like a bullet from a gun, he's quick to a gallop and again We're on the run
An outlaw needs a partner who's there in time of need
Been none better than this loyal steed
Without my trusted friend there's no telling where I'd be
He deserves so much better than a Hell-bound outlaw like me
Full day of ridin' haven't lost 'em yet; we hideout in the darkness and take some time to Rest
Willie Boy is tired, I can see it in his eyes, this is it; it's the end of the ride
Lord I know I don't deserve anything of you, I've lived an outlaw's life and broken all your Rules
For me I ask nothing, I won't hear the angels sing, but when comes the time could you Please
Give ol' Willie Boy some wings
An outlaw needs a partner who's there in time of need
Been none better than this loyal steed
Without my trusted friend there's no telling where I'd be
He deserves so much better than a Hell-bound outlaw like me
He deserves so much better than a no good, no count, hell-bound outlaw like me
Slip into my boots and holster my gun, this is the life of an outlaw on the run
Gather what I can; toss it in my pack, saddle up ol' Willie Boy and hop up on his back
Rears up on his hind legs and like a bullet from a gun, he's quick to a gallop and again We're on the run
An outlaw needs a partner who's there in time of need
Been none better than this loyal steed
Without my trusted friend there's no telling where I'd be
He deserves so much better than a Hell-bound outlaw like me
Full day of ridin' haven't lost 'em yet; we hideout in the darkness and take some time to Rest
Willie Boy is tired, I can see it in his eyes, this is it; it's the end of the ride
Lord I know I don't deserve anything of you, I've lived an outlaw's life and broken all your Rules
For me I ask nothing, I won't hear the angels sing, but when comes the time could you Please
Give ol' Willie Boy some wings
An outlaw needs a partner who's there in time of need
Been none better than this loyal steed
Without my trusted friend there's no telling where I'd be
He deserves so much better than a Hell-bound outlaw like me
He deserves so much better than a no good, no count, hell-bound outlaw like me
