Ladies Love Outlaws (Album Version)

Bessie was a lovely child from East Tennessee
Now Leroy was an outlaw, hard-eyed and mean
One day, she caught him starin' and it chilled her to the bone
She swore 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
Outlaws touch ladies deep down in their soul

Well, Linda, she's a pretty girl, she's blonde and built to last
Timmy's a bad ol' guitar picker runnin' from his past
Now listenin' to his songs, she heard nothin' but bad news
Still, she made her mind up to get him, win or lose

'Cause ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
Outlaws touch ladies deep down in their soul

Jessica, she liked Cadillacs, she liked diamonds for her hand
Seymour had a reputation as a ladies' man
Well, late one night, her light of love finally gave a sign
Jesse parked the Cadillac and took her place in line

'Cause ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
Outlaws touch ladies deep down in their soul

You know, ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
Outlaws touch ladies any damn way they want to
