Ladies Love Outlaws

Bessie was a lovely child from West Tennessee

Leroy was an outlaw, hard-eyed and mean

One day she saw him starin' and it chilled her to the bone

She knew she had to see that look on a child of her own

'Cause ladies love outlaws, like babies love stray dogs

Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold

And outlaws touch the ladies somewhere deep down in their soul

Linda was a lady, blonde and built to last

Billy was a no-good guitar picker runnin' from his past

Listenin' to his songs she heard nothin' but bad news

Still she made her mind up to try to get him win or lose

'Cause ladies love outlaws, like babies love stray dogs

Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold

And outlaws touch the ladies somewhere deep down in their soul

Jessi liked the Cadillacs and diamonds on her hands

Waymore had a reputation as a lady's man

Late one night her light of love finally gave a sign

Jessi parked her Cadillac and took her place in line

'Cause ladies love outlaws, like babies love stray dogs

Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold

And outlaws touch the ladies somewhere deep down in their soul

Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold

And outlaws touch the ladies somewhere deep down in their soul
