Intro: B
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.
-Repeat Chorus-
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
-Repeat Chorus-
