Momma was an outlaw
Daddy was dead
Rob them banks trying to keep us fed
I've been running all my life
Trying to settle and take me a wife
Born in Mississippi 'bout 1910
Long time till I see those banks again
I was real young when we started to go
Ended up down in Mexico
1924 Momma started to run
Chased outta town at the point of a shotgun
I don't know but I've been told
Make a man run you make him get old
1945 I shot my first man
Ain't never looked back ever since
I don't know much about an honest life
Put your a$$ out at the point of a knife
1959 they threw me in the pen
Find myself right here again
I don't know but I've been told
Put a man away you make him get old
