Lyrics Waylon Jennings

Waylon Jennings

Ladies Love Outlaws

Bessie was a lovely child from west Tennessee

Leroy was an outlaw wild as a mink

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

And 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

Benny was a no good guitar picker runnin' from his past

She heard all of his songs tellin' nothin' but bad news

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

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 like the Cadillacs and diamonds on her hands

Waymore had a reputation as a ladie's man

Late one night a 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 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...
