my daddy was an outlaw
Mom died giving birth to me
They both let me all alone when i was on bended knee
If you dont like my story i suggest you turn the page
I dont need no preachin i aint got no soul to save
My name is arkansas dave rudebaugh and this here is tennessee jack
Dont you give us any lip now boy or today will be your last
When the bank was dry we said good-bye and walked out to the street
When a cloud of bullets came a thundering down and took tennessee to his knees
I just stood there and watched him bleeding like a fool out in the rain
Didnt have time to think when i jumped through the banks front window pane
Grabbed the teller in a blink of an eye put a colt up to his head
Said careful son dont try to run or tomorrow will be your last
Chorus
Ive got to fly like an eagle
free like a bird on the wind
Hell fire and brimstone are coming down on me
Mister i was born of sin
Sat down in the corner and rolled a little home grown
Said if im gonna die today i sure as hell aint goin alone
So i ran out the bank a shooting i was two for two at first
Until i felt a painful sound as a bullet tore my shirt
Chorus
I crawled back to the alley way where i knew my horse was tied
And thats where all the legends say that arkansas dave rudebaugh died
But i was in a place so far from there in a time so long ago
In the arms of a pretty little senorita on the gulf of mexico
Chorus
