The Marshall Tucker Band - Never Trust A Stranger lyrics

We were riding through the flatlands We were searching for two prisoner Who just broke jail A tall one and a lean one Rode a chestnut stallion And the word was that the main man Well he was mean as hell An outlaw is a man Who never understands A word called danger He learns to shoot and ride as a child And to never trust a stranger And he's always called a better man We chased him to the border All the way to El Paso The ride was long, the ride was hard But the sheriff said we can't let 'em go He said let me tell you something I've been tracking for a long time They never trust a stranger And they take care of their own An outlaw is a man Who never understands A word called danger He learns to shoot and ride as a child And to never trust a stranger And he's always called a better man Today's man is an outlaw On that long road to freedom You work him to take his pride And then you try to cheat him Then one day you figure out It's a long long story An outlaw is a man who takes care of his own An outlaw is a man Who never understands A word called danger He learns to shoot and ride as a child And to never trust a stranger And he's always called a better man
