Leroy was an outlaw hard and mean

One day she saw him staring 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

She heard all his songs telling nothing but bad news

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

Outlaws touch ladies somewhere deep down in their soul

Jessie parked her Cadillac and took her place in line
