text: Well before she came along he was lonesome onry and mean
  It was his way or the high way
  But she had a way that hed never seen
  Hed been livin hard and fast
  All his takin was takin its toll
  And it took a good hearted, hard headed angel
  To help him gain control
  He wore his own kind of hat
  And for that folks called him an outlaw
  Well some even cussed his name
  Cause they couldnt see the same man she saw
  He strummed the beat of a different drum
  And his hair was always long and messy, yes it was
  And he said he wouldnt change for no one
  Except for Jessie
  Well she never tried to change him
  But she loved him and gave him a son
  And that aint easy with a honky tonkin man
  Makin music on the run
  And Lord knows she was a good wife
  Always good at findin ways to right his wrongs
  She was the love of his life, the inspiration for his songs
  He wore his own kind of hat
  And for that folks called him an outlaw
  Well some even cussed his name
  Cause they couldnt see the same man she saw
  He strummed the beat of a different drum
  And his hair was always long and messy, yes it was
  And he said he wouldnt change for no one
  Except for Jessie
  He wore his own kind of hat
  And for that folks called him an outlaw
  Well some even cussed his name
  Cause they couldnt see the same man she saw
  He strummed the beat of a different drum
  And his hair was always long and messy, yes it was
  And he said he wouldnt change for no one
  Except for Jessie
