| Rigid chopper
|
| Six gun at his side
|
| All he has to live for
|
| Is another place to ride
|
| Hasn’t got a home or a family
|
| Doesn’t hold a regular job
|
| He’s living off the land
|
| And the people that he robs
|
| Lawless rebel
|
| Outlaw renegade
|
| Burning up miles of black top
|
| Hoping to get laid
|
| Here comes another one horse town
|
| There goes another bank
|
| Only a few had to be put down
|
| And he’s still got half a tank
|
| Nights about Tennessee whiskey
|
| Days are all bathtub crank
|
| His pockets are bulging with money
|
| And the good Lord gets all the thanks
|
| Lawless rebel
|
| Outlaw renegade
|
| Sailing along on the open road
|
| By sundown he’ll get paid
|
| Wind whips through his hair
|
| In the high plains desert sun
|
| Headed he cares not where
|
| With two fifths, a bindle and his gun
|
| One place he does not care to go
|
| Is a place called life in jail
|
| His iron cross rear view mirror
|
| Shows a state trooper on his tail
|
| He shoots it out with the copper
|
| And he empties his .44
|
| He’s runnin' low on bullets
|
| But the cops got plenty more
|
| He takes cover behind the fat bob tanks
|
| of his '53 panhead
|
| But a round ricochets of the S&S carb
|
| And leaves him on the highway dead
|
| Lawless rebel
|
| Outlaw renegade
|
| The universal truth is that
|
| The piper must be paid |
