Never Trust A Stranger Lyrics - Carolina Dreams - The Marshall Tucker Band

We were riding through the flatlands 

We were searching for two prisoner 

Who just broke jail 

A tall one and a lean one 

Rode a chestnut stallion 

And the word was that the main man 

Well he was mean as hell 

An outlaw is a man 

Who never understands 

A word called danger 

He learns to shoot and ride as a child 

And to never trust a stranger 

And he's always called a better man

We chased him to the border 

All the way to El Paso 

The ride was long, the ride was hard 

But the sheriff said we can't let 'em go 

He said let me tell you something 

I've been tracking for a long time 

They never trust a stranger 

And they take care of their own 

An outlaw is a man 

Who never understands 

A word called danger 

He learns to shoot and ride as a child 

And to never trust a stranger 

And he's always called a better man

Today's man is an outlaw 

On that long road to freedom 

You work him to take his pride 

And then you try to cheat him 

Then one day you figure out 

It's a long long story 

An outlaw is a man who takes care of his own 

An outlaw is a man 

Who never understands 

A word called danger 

He learns to shoot and ride as a child 

And to never trust a stranger 

And he's always called a better man
