Текст песни They Captured the Outlaw Last Night

(Tom T. Hall)

They captured the outlaw last night
He came out of the darkness and stood in the light
He was saint he was sober and he vowed to do right
They captured the outlaw last night.

He smiled as they threw him in jail
Along with the hundreds of others who failed
The only one left who believed he was right
They captured the outlaw last night.

They never explained what went wrong
The man who would not sell his soul for a song
Came in with that trophy so shiny and bright
They captured the outlaw last night.

He smiled as they threw him in jailTom T. Hall - They Captured the Outlaw Last Night - http://ru.motolyrics.com/tom-t-hall/they-captured-the-outlaw-last-night-lyrics.html
Along with the hundreds of others who failed
The only one left who believed he was right
They captured the outlaw last night.

He looked like the outlaw we knew
Shaggy old hair and scrubby old boots
But his dream disappeared in society's light
They captured the outlaw last night.

He smiled as they threw him in jail
Along with the hundreds of others who failed
The only one left who believed he was right
They captured the outlaw last night.

Why he more or less turned himself in
Have found some Coke and a bottle of gin
But he died on TV so I guess it's all right
They captured the outlaw last night...
