How I'd love to be an outlaw
Actin' bad - lookin' cool
How I'd love to be an outlaw
Playin' hookey - skippin' school
Robbin' banks & buyin' candy
And eat it all - all by myself
I'd buy a brand new bike and skateboard
For me to ride and no one else
It ain't no fun to be an outlaw
When there's a posse on your trail
It ain't no fun to be an outlaw
Behind some bars - in a jail
The nights get cold out in the desert
With the ground beneath your head
Sleepin' out in stormy weather
When you could be home in bed
I'd still love to be an outlaw
And never take a bath for years
How I'd love to be an outlaw
And never wash behind my ears
It ain't no fun to be an outlaw
It just ain't cool - being bad
It ain't no fun to be an outlaw
So stay home with mom and dad.
I don't want to be an outlaw
It just ain't cool being bad
I don't want to be an outlaw
So stay home with mom and dad.
