Lyrics

I`m for the law and order the way it should be

This song`s about the night they spent protecting you from me

Someone called us outlaws in some old magazine

And New York sent a posse down like I ain`t ever seen

Don`t you think this outlaw bit`s done got out of hand

What started out to be a joke the law don`t understand

Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man

Maybe this here outlaw bit`s done got out of hand out of hand

[ guitar ]

We were wrapped up in our music that`s why we never saw

The car pulls up the boys get out and the room fills up with law

They came boundin` through the backdoor in the middle of a song

They got me for possession for something that was gone long gone

Don`t you think this outlaw...

Don`t you think this outlaw bit`s done got out of hand
