Ladies Love Outlaws Songtext
von Tom Rush

Bessie was a lovely child from East Tennessee
Leroy was an outlaw hard eyed and mean
One day she saw him starin′ and it chilled her to the bone
And 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
And outlaws touch the ladies
Somewhere deep down in their soul.

Linda was a pretty girl, blonde and built to last
Timmy was a guitar picker runnin′ from his past
Listen" to his songs she heard nothin' but bad news
Still she made her mind up to get him win or lose.


Ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies
Somewhere deep down in their soul

Jesica like the Cadillacs and diamonds for her hands
Seymore had a reputation as a ladie's man
Late one night a light of love finally gave a sign
Jessi parked her Cadillac and took her place in line.

′Cause ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies
Somewhere deep down in their soul.

Ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies
Somewhere deep down in their soul
