Waylon and Willie
Wanted dead or alive
It was all promotion
It was all hype
Young Jamey Johnson
Made himself a name
Smoking marijuana
Sniffing cocaine

Can't Outdraw The Real Outlaws
Gunslingers of the old west
Billy the Kid killed men
Jesse James did 'em in
Can't Outdraw The Real Outlaws
Bank robbers from the old school
Hoodoo Brown and his gang
They all knew they would hang

Cash sang of prisons
Strumming on a guitar
Spent only one night
Behind those bars
Mr. Merle Haggard
Served a little time
Made a fortune outta
His fighting side

Bridge:
These Nashville whippersnappers
Thought they were bad
They couldn't hold a candle
To old Sam Bass

guitar

Kris Kristofferson
Tried to be mean
Just a Rhodes scholar on
The Nashville scene
But Doc Holliday
Was was one tough dude
Doc was a dentist
He'd pull your tooth

Rap:
Butch Cassidy
And the Sundance Kid
Robbing trains
Shooting people dead

No Mercy at all
Made the country bleed
