Lyric
This world’s a jungle there ain’t no justiceLaws of nature rule this land Better hide your horses, bury your whiskey Hold your woman any way you canCause there ain’t no right or wrong, nothing’s carved in stoneIt ain’t cheating if you don’t get caught Jokers laugh and losers grieve Cause out here there’s no honor among thievesThat woman you’ve been loving, she was another man’sYou stole her heart while his back was turned On every corner there’s an outlaw waiting Who wants to teach you what you never learnedCause there ain’t no right or wrong, nothing’s carved in stoneIt ain’t cheating if you don’t get caught Jokers laugh and losers grieve Cause out here there’s no honor among thievesThis world’s a jungle there ain’t no justiceLaws of nature rule this land So don’t go crying when her love goes flying to The thieving arms of another manThere ain’t no right or wrong, nothing’s carved in stoneIt ain’t cheating if you don’t get caught Love’s a deck of cards read them and weep Cause out here there’s no honor among thievesYeahThere ain’t no right or wrong Nothing’s carved in stone
