I am a highway
A highway robber
The deserts my home
Lord knows I'm coming
I'm runnin', I'm gunnin'
Through this lawless state
Some renegades came to me
And they offered me good
We're gonna call out that lawman
Gonna shoot him down cold
The memory is clear
Of a proud man drawing near
And as he face the guns
I know he did not run
In this lawless state
In this lawless state
Desert sun, ever on the run
Desert sun, ever on the run
No, I ain't no killer
But I'm labeled as such
But during that shootout
My gun was untouched
I could not shoot him cold
For no amount of gold
And so I stood beside
A man who bravely died
In this lawless state
In this lawless state
Yippy-I-yay (hey)
Yippy-I-ho (hey)
Yippy-I-yay (hey)
Yippy-I-ho
No, I ain't no killer
But I'm labeled as such
But during that shootout
My gun was untouched
I could not shoot him cold
For any amount of gold
And so I stood beside
A man who bravely died
In this lawless state
In this lawless state
Yippy-I-yay (hey)
Yippy-I-ho (hey)
Yippy-I-yay (hey)
Yippy-I-ho
In this lawless state
In this lawless state
In this lawless state
Oh, in this lawless state
In this lawless state
Oh, in this lawless state
In this lawless state
