Intro

Verse

I met a pretty girl the next town over

 Running like a river, thin and long

Other than her dress

 She looked mighty well depressed

 So I asked this little lady what was wrong

She said, "All my life I've tried to be an outlaw

 I've tried to spit and chew and steal and rob

 But I ain't no good at thieven'

 So I might as well be leaven

 I think I'm off and go get a job"

I told the pretty girl, "Don't be so foolish

 Don't be so quick to leave a life of crime

See I'll be quick to call it

 You can practice on my wallet

 And that way if you're caught you won't do time"

Chorus

Just rob me!

Just rob me!

A pretty face like yours don't come for free

If I can call you honey

 Well then you can take my money

 So darlin keep your gun

And just rob me

Verse 2

I see the girl again a few months later

 To see her with her gun was a relief

 I said, "Honey you've got attributes

 Like lace and lips and high heeled boots

 But dearie your just no good as a thief"

She said, "Mister how do you know that I'm failin'

 I might have robbed twenty banks today"

 I looked into her eyes

 And said, "Miss, I'd be surprised,

 You're pointing that there gun the wrong way.

Bridge

Maybe every woman is an outlaw

 I'm pretty sure they're pretty thieves in black

 They'll make you scream like smoke

 And then they rob you broke

 But I suppose don't mind being robbed like that

Verse 3

So my pretty thief and I started a family

 Yeah my outlaw's been given me inlaws

 She kept her thievin art

 Sure as rain she stole my heart

 But she tells me it's for a worthy cause
