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
   Celebraed as the rebel kind
   The Outlaw
  
   I wonder if you knew
   They would turn your bad deeds into good
   Paint you as a modern robinhood
  
   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
