Take me across the water 'cause I need some place to hide
I done the rancher's daughter and I sure did hurt his pride

Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah
Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah

Well, there's a hundred miles of desert lies between his hide and mine
I don't need no food, no water, Lord, 'cause I'm running out of time

Fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to my grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'. nothing left to save
But my life

Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah
Oo-oo oo-oo ah ah ah

Stood on a ridge and shunned religion, thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake, stealing when I should have been buying

All that fightin', killin', wine and women gonna put me to an early grave
Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin', nothing left to save
But my life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life

So I stood on a ridge and shunned religion, thinking the world was mine
I made my break and a big mistake, stealing when I should have been buying
I was stealing when I should have been buying
I was stealing when I should have been buying
Stealing
When I should have been buying
Stealing
When I should have been buying
Stealing
When I should have been buying
Stealing
When I should have been buying
Stealing
When I should have been buying
Stealing, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah
Stealing
When I should have been buying
Stealing
Rock and roll!
