I'm for law and order the way that it should be.
This songs about the night they spent protecting you from me.
Someone called us Outlaws in some old magazine.
New York sent a posse down like I ain't ever seen.
Don't y'all think this outlaw bits done got outta hand?
What started out to be a joke, the law don't understand.
Was it singin' through my nose that got me busted by the man?
Maybe this here outlaw bit's done got outta hand. (outta hand!)
We were wrapped up in the music that's why we never saw.
The cars pulled up the boys got out and the room filled up with law.
They came pounding through the back door in the middle of the song.
They got me for possession of something that was gone; long gone.
Don't y'all think this outlaw bits done got outta hand?
What started out to be a joke, the law don't understand.
Was it singin' through my nose that got me busted by the man?
Maybe this here outlaw bit's done got outta hand. (outta hand!)
