Verse: First left my woman, it was down in Santa Fe. Headed for Oklahoma, I was ridin' night and day. All of my friends are strangers, they quickly come and go. And all my love's in danger 'cause I steal hearts and souls. Woman, don't try to love me, don't try to understand. A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man. Chorus: Woman, don't try to love me, don't try to understand.
