Tom Rush - Ladies Love OutlawsLyrics

Bessie was a lovely child from west Tennessee Leroy was an outlaw wild as a mink One day she saw him starin' and it chilled her to the bone And she knew she had to see that look on a child of her own. 'Cause ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold And outlaws touch the ladies Somewhere deep down in their soul. Linda was a lady blonde and built to last Benny was a no good guitar picker runnin' from his past She heard all of his songs tellin' nothin' but bad news But she made her mind up to try to get him win or lose. Ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold And outlaws touch the ladies Somewhere deep down in their soul. Jessi like the Cadillacs and diamonds on her hands Waymore had a reputation as a ladie's man Late one night a light of love finally gave a sign Jessi parked her Cadillac and took her place in line. 'Cause ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold And outlaws touch the ladies Somewhere deep down in their soul. Ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold And outlaws touch the ladies Somewhere deep down in their soul...
