Bessie was a lovely child from west tennessee Leroy was an outlaw, hard-eyed and mean One day she saw him starin', and it chilled her to the bone She knew she had to see that look on a child of her own
Chorus 'Cause ladies love outlaws Like babies love stray dogs Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold Outlaws touch ladies somewhere deep down in their soul
Linda was a lady, blonde and built to last Billy was a no-good guitar picker runnin' from his past
Listenin' to his songs she heard nothin' but bad news Still she made her mind up to try to get him win or lose
Repeat chorus
Jessi liked the cadillacs and diamonds on her hands Waymore had a reputation as a lady's man Late one night her light of love finally gave a sign Jessi parked her cadillac and took her place in line
