"Beautiful Outlaw" lyrics

It was just a night, but not just a night
She was just a girl, but not just a girl
Couldn't see her stripes in the neon haze
Never knew a crime was taking place
And she had looks to kill, baby blues and all
Beautiful outlaw

It was just a dance, but not just a dance
It was just a kiss, but not just a kiss
I got held up in a honky tonk downtown
Reeled in, Shanghaied and shot down
By a wild angel armed with a southern drawl
One beautiful outlaw

She didn't ride into town on no midnight train
No stick 'em up six-shooter or sidekick with a nickname
She oughta be doing time locked up in my arms
Facing twenty-five to life for starting a fire in a bar
Wish I had a picture, yeah, I'd post her on a wall
One wanted bad, beautiful outlaw

Well, there's a ten and then there's her
I'd roll again and love to hurt
That red bandana tied around her neck
Is the only piece of evidence she left
If I had her number, I'd give her a call
Beautiful outlaw

She didn't ride into town on no midnight train
No stick 'em up six-shooter or sidekick with a nickname
She oughta be doing time locked up in my arms
Facing twenty-five to life for starting a fire in that bar
If I had a picture, I could post her on the wall
One wanted bad, beautiful outlaw

If I had a picture, yeah, I'd post her on a wall
One wanted real, real bad, beautiful outlaw
