VERSE

He was born a little baby on the

Appalachian Trail.

At six months old, he'd done three months in jail.

He robbed a bank in his diapers and his little bare baby feet.

All he said was, folks, my name is

Outlaw Pete.

CHORUS

I'm Outlaw Pete

I'm Outlaw Pete can you hear me?

VERSE

At 25 a

Mustang pony he did steal

And he rode around and 'round on heaven's wheel

Father Jesus, I'm an outlaw killer and a thief.

And I slow down only to sow my grief.

CHORUS

I'm outlaw Pete

I'm outlaw Pete

Can you hear me?

And as the smoke fell he held that beautiful daughter to his chest

I'm Outlaw Pete

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

we cannot undo these things we've done.

CHORUS

You're Outlaw

You're Outlaw Pete.

Can you hear me?

VERSE

For 40 days and nights,

Pete rode and did not stop.

high upon an icy mountain top.

He watched a hawk on a desert updraft slip and slide

Moved to the edge and dug his spurs deep into his pony's side

VERSE

Some say Pete and his pony vanished over the edge

Some say they remain frozen high upon that icy ledge

A young Navajo girl washes in the river skin so fair

And braids a piece of Pete's buckskin chaps into her hair

CHORUS
