It was rainin' in heaven when you went down



You were better than the best, stayed a notch above the rest

It was rainin' in heaven when you went down

Your mother cried, said she told you so

But you touched the devil and couldn't let go, yeah

No one controls the Outlaw



You wrote the story with the movie in mind, an angel face with a criminal side

Celebrated as the rebel kind, the Outlaw



I wonder if you knew they would turn your bad deeds into good

Paint you as a modern Robin Hood

It's high noon everywhere you go

And the guilt you feel is the weary soul, yeah, of the Outlaw



Hearts weren't made to be ruled, and rules weren't made to be broken

It's cold and lonely at the end of your life

And nobody sleeps 'til they turn out the lights for the Outlaw



Where you gonna go, where you gonna hide, it's cold and lonely for the Outlaw

Where you gonna go, where you gonna hide, as the Outlaw
