LYRICS

Outlaw in Disguise (Punish/Cohen)

Outlaw in Disguise
Outlaw in Disguise
As I look back through
those days long since passed
Freedom comes alive in my mind
And I’m slowing down fast

With the wind at my back
and a dream she never quits me
But the lawman is never far behind
feeding on my destiny

I steal from the rich
they all know my name
I disappear without a trace
That’s always been my game

A friend to the warrior
but I never get too close
Cause some of them may know my face
And I don’t want them to know

I’m on the trail to Mexico
they love me when I come
They know I come to spend my money
Senoritas dance I know

I’ll ride until they catch me
Make no mistakes si Señor
Cash me out this fools game
Before I hit the floor

And the fire wolves howl
do they have what it takes
As the winds of change whisper
whisper my name
