HurricaneMitchSongs's video: The Outlaw Kind original cowboy folk song with lyrics

Original cowboy folk song. Copyright 2014 Hurricane Mitch. Lyrics: Out in Arizona beyond a railroad track, Billy and his daddy lived in a little shack, his mother died when he was young and before she passed away, she said I'll wait for you in heaven son I'll see you there someday, then one bad day in Tucson when he was just eighteen, a little bit of whiskey made Billy tall and mean, a preacher man walking by yelled heaven can't be found, drinking from a bottle boy and Billy knocked him down, the sheriff saw it happen on a horse that he did ride, and reached down for his pistol in the holster at his side, a shot was quickly fired from the barrel of a gun, the sheriff fell and Billy yelled oh Lord what have I done CHORUS: he never meant to be the outlaw kind, five hundred dollar bounty posted on a wanted sign, he'd cry out to the Lord, Jesus, peace I hope I find, I never meant to be the outlaw kind VERSE 2: through the lonesome valleys to Wyoming he did roam, riding from the law and wishing he could go back home, he'd pray Lord please forgive me for all the wrong I've done, this ain't the life I wanted Lord oh what have I become, repeat chorus: VERSE 3: one morning in a chapel Billy prayed for divine grace, a man in black walked in and fired a shot that grazed his face, Billy snapped his trigger back and shot him in the hand, four feet from the man in black he saw the pistol land, and the man who had intentions of shooting Billy dead, was staring at a forty five pointed at his head, Billy walked up to him and he watched him sweat and pray, then Billy tossed is pistol down and turned and walked away, repeat chorus: VERSE 4: a broken hearted daddy grieved, cause he loved him still, a man that dressed in black, had five one hundred dollar bills, now there's two white crosses, out behind that little shack, for a mother and an outlaw with a bullet in his back. also see country folk songs, cowboy songs, original country cowboy songs, songs about the old west, gunslinger songs, outlaw music, outlaw songs, country folk music, folk songs with lyrics.
