Lyr Req: Outlaw (Gibson/Paxton)

This is a song co-written by Tom Paxton and Bob Gibson. Tom and Bob co-wrote four or five songs and I believe this song from 1978 is their first collaboration. Do anybody know the lyrics or chords? Thanks.

It's on Paxton's album "Up and Up"

I have the CD of that album. I can transcribe the lyrics to the chorus:

You must be an outlaw, a ramblin' man and a gamblin' man of course
Singin' all 'em outlaw songs of whiskey wine and women and divorce
Act like you could kill a man, never know the meaning of remorse
But if you're such an outlaw, how come you keep fallin' off your horse?

Outlaw

A-one, a-two - a-one, two, three
You must be an outlaw
A ramblin' man and a gamblin' man of course
Singin' all them outlaw songs
About whisky, wine and women and divorce
Y' act like you could kill a man
Never know the meaning of remorse
Well if you're such an outlaw
How come you keep fallin' off your horse

You like to wear your blue jeans tight
You like to look like you like to fight
You like them little girls hangin' around
When the bad guys come to town
You're tough and mean - you're tall and thin
At least you are when you suck it in
Looks like you've been playin games
With Jesses James
But if you're such an outlaw
How come you keep fallin' off your horse

Singin' all them outlaw songs
About whisky, wine and women and divorce
Y' act like you could kill a man
Never know the meanin' of remorse
But if you're such an outlaw
Such a desperado
How come you keep fallin' off your horse

Outlaw
