Out on this heart worn highway
Into the heat of night
Look in your rearview mirror
Tuscon is outta sight
Headed for Oklahoma
Texas is still ahead
Face on a wanted poster, wanted alive or dead

(Chorus)
Destined to die an outlaw,
branded in every town.
Two steps ahead of danger,
waiting to bring you down.
Cling to your loaded pistol,
keep it right by your side.
Out on some heart worn highway,
this could be your last ride.

Out on some heart worn highway
Too late to turn back now
You made the bed you lay in
And they'll find your trail somehow
Just gotta keep on runnin'
from all the things you done
Out on some heart worn highway
Your livin' by the gun

(Chorus)

(Solo)

(Chorus #2)
Destined to die an outlaw,
branded in every town.
Two steps ahead of danger,
waiting to bring you down.
Pray to your loaded pistol now,
keep it right by your side.
Out on some heart worn highway,
this could be your last ride.
