So You Wannabe An Outlaw Chords & Lyrics - Steve Earle

[INTRO]
[A]

[Verse 1: Steve Earle]
[A]So you wanna be an outlaw, better take it from me

Living on the highway, ain't everything it's suppose to be

Everybody reckons that they wanna be free
Ain't no body wants to be [D]alone

[A]Stumblin' in the alley at a quarter to three

Hollering after Sally, "Honey, what you trying to do to me"

Told me "Go to hell, I'm going back to Tennessee"

I said, "Angel, you can never go home"

[Chorus: Steve Earle]
[D]Never go home
Never go home[A]
I[A]f you wanna be an outlaw you can never go home

[Verse 2: Willie Nelson]
[A]So you wanna be outlaw, better listen up kid
[A]Steal a million dollars and you have to keep it hid
[A]Ain't no place to spend it in the desert if you did
[A]And you can't take it with you when yo[D]u go

[A]Always something laying for you up around the bend
[A]Everything that goes around comes back around again
[A]You can't trust anybody, not a lover or a friend
[A]Your momma, maybe, then you never know

[Chorus: Steve Earle, Willie Nelson, Both]
Never do [D]know (Never do know)
Never do [A]know (Well you never do know)

If you wanna be an outlaw, then you never do know

[BRIDGE]
[A] [D] [A]

[Verse 3: Steve Earle & Willie Nelson]
[A]So you wanna be an outlaw, son you better think twice
[A]You better not pout and you better not cry
[A]'Cause there won't nobody give a damn about you when you die
[A]But the devil when he comes for his [D]due

[A]When you're standing at the cross roads, don't you try to flag a ride
[A]Don't you fall down on your knees, don't you do what's already been tried
[A]Hate to tell you but the only the left side is to sing the devil out of the blues

[Chorus: Steve Earle & Willie Nelson]
Singing the [D]blues
Keep on singing th[A]e blues

Sing the "So you say you wanna be an outlaw blues"

[Outro: Steve Earle]
[A]Hey Hey
