IAN HUNTER - The Outsider lyrics

rate me

(ian hunter)<br><br>Death be my mistress, guns be my wife<br>Breath is my witness and roads are my life<br>Just give my future's clean as a knife<br>Far on the way from l.a.<br><br>The sun heats the saddle, sand in my hair<br>Looking for water and there's sweat everywhere<br>Know that I'm nearer I smell damp air<br>I ain't tasted coffee for days<br><br>When the leaves are down I'll be southward bound<br>Hunters hunt the outsider.<br>When the wind grows cold, when the sun grows old,<br>Nothing holds the outsider<br><br>Just killed a man in a town called nightfall<br>Damned if I can't remember it all<br>My hand it was shaking but his talk it was tall<br>I paid for the funeral crew<br>And it seems like I never reach mexico<br>They're heading me off every place that I go<br>I'm sick of the fact that I've got to lay low<br>What else can an outsider do<br><br>I know they're near to me, I don't have to see<br>Just let me be the outsider<br>They ain't far behind, they're always on my mind<br>They won't find the outsider<br>The outsider<br><br>When the leaves are down I'll be southward bound<br>Hunter's haunt the outsider.<br>When the wind grows cold, when the sun grows old,<br>Nothing holds the outsider<br>The outsider. the outsider.
