Playin' to Win is the fourth album by American southern rock band Outlaws, released in 1978. (See 1978 in music). The album is their first without guitarist and singer/songwriter Henry Paul, who had acted as the second frontman behind Hughie Thomasson. The album was not as well received as the band's previous three albums, even though it still featured most of the original lineup, which would remain until the departure of guitarist Billy Jones. The album was more straight southern rock than the country rock sound of their previous three, especially the last two.
