I am an outlaw, I was born an outlaw's son
The highway is my legacy
On the highway I will run
In one hand I've a Bible
In the other I've got a gun
Well, don' you know me
I'm the man who won
Woman don't try to love me
Don't try to understand
A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man
First left my woman, it was down in Santa Fe
Headed for Oklahoma, I was ridin' night and day
All of my friends are strangers,
They quickly come and go
And all my love's in danger,
'Cause I steal hearts and souls
Woman, don't try to love me
Don't try to understand A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man
oo....
Woman, don't try to love me
Don't try to understand
A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man
Some me call me Abel,
Some men call me Cain,
Some men call me sinner, Lord
Some men call me saint
Some say there's a Jesus
Some men say there ain't
When you got no life to lose
Then there's nothin' left to gain

Minor detail, in case Bill or Rebecca are reading: It isn't THE Eagles - just Eagles. All the way back to the 1st record.
If I had a time machine, I'd go back in time and make sure the Eagles never happened.
I'd probably let Joe Walsh slide, though. The James Gang wasn't half bad.

Wow. This is awful. I expect more from the Eagles.
Nice follow on from the man who wrote "Peaceful Easy Feeling", and was
of course made famous by the Eagles.

I have ALL Eagles albums and I have to say that the, Long Road Out Of Eden CD,stands up to their early years.I remember one vinyl LP that had a funny smell,maybe the scent of California!?
Outlaw Man on volume 11 is a #9 for me.

I agree. Always loved the bass line in this song. The bass player's off in his own little world in the last minute or so.
Great Bill! I know they're contrived & self indulgent, etc., but a little Eagles ever now & again never hurt anyone! :-)

Except that RP is anti-Doobies, for some reason. This I understand in relation to post-Taking It to the Streets albums, inasmuch as Michael McDonald changed the group from being guitar-driven to almost fully keyboard-driven, creating horribly boring recordings in so doing.
That said, I tried uploading two tracks from The Captain & Me to the LRC, but Rebecca rejected them before even allowing any sort of listener vote tally. Go figure........
Priceless. Another cultural marker of the 70's. Now we just need some Loggins and Messina and Doobie Brothers from the same era...

Ah! Back in the "good 'ol days"! Wonder if Jackson Browne co-wrote this one too?
Wonder if Jackson Browne co-wrote this one too?Oh wow, major blast from the past! My two older brothers had this album and it was my introduction to the Eagles. Love it, love it, love it!
