Well, the sheriff caught me down in my busted Chevrolet Rust on the bumper, smoke rollin' off the brakes Had a six-string in the backseat, a bad reputation Three unpaid tabs and a warrant in rotation I'm a hard-livin', fast-talkin', backseat Casanova clown Got banned from Sunday service in three neighboring towns The sheriff said: Watch yourself, I know your type too well That hurts my feelings, sir Then I took his belle 'Cause I'm a rebel, but a sensitive one The best outlaws got a little heart under the gun I fall in love easy, Lord, I always have Especially when she whispers while I'm followin' her map 'Cause I'm a rebel, but a sensitive man Weak for red nails dragging down my back again But a tumbleweed can't settle, no matter how hard it tries Some men are born to wander, some get lost in tights Now his wife shows up each evenin' carryin' peach pie, while the sheriff stuffs his face She pours a lil whiskey in his Folgers, just, just in case Soon he starts snorin' like a broke-down diesel train She says: That man's just an alibi, honey, I came here for this outlaw in chains I'm a hard-livin', fast-talkin', backseat Casanova clown Got banned from Sunday service in three neighboring towns I ain't proud of every poor decision that I've made But married women love me like dogs love gettin' sprayed 'Cause I'm a rebel, but a sensitive one The best outlaws got a little heart under the gun I fall in love easy, Lord, I always have Especially when she whispers while I'm followin' her map 'Cause I'm a rebel, but a sensitive man Weak for red nails dragging down my back again But a tumbleweed can't settle, no matter how hard it tries Some men are born to wander, some get lost in tights Now she's throwin' dishes at the wall And I'm halfway to New Mexico forgettin' names and all The sheriff still hates me and frankly I understand But if his wife shows up again, well, I'm only a man 'Cause I'm a rebel, but a sensitive one The best outlaws got a little heart under the gun I fall in love easy, Lord, I always have Especially when she whispers while I'm followin' her map 'Cause I'm a rebel, but a sensitive man Weak for red nails dragging down my back again But a tumbleweed can't settle, no matter how hard it tries Some men are born to wander, some get lost in tights
