(Verse 1)

      G
 This old town ain't been the same,


 since this old boy’s been gone.

     C
 Lord I still got some good friends,

           G
 but I feel so all alone.

    D
 All I hear is disco,

                 G
 see pretty boys with high heels on.

 Well some people sure hate me,


 and the police dog me ‘round.

 is on the west side of town

 Although I'm your outlaw,
