[00:02.00]Bruce Springsteen - Outlaw Pete
[00:07.00]
[00:07.92]He was born a little baby on the Appalachian Trail
[00:15.20]At six months old he'd done three months in jail
[00:21.76]He robbed a bank in his diapers and his little bare baby feet
[00:28.80]All he said was "Folks, my name is Outlaw Pete."
[00:33.31]
[00:36.07]I'm Outlaw Pete!
[00:39.56]I'm Outlaw Pete!
[00:42.61]Can you hear me?
[00:45.60]
[00:49.93]At twenty-five a mustang pony he did steal
[00:57.10]And they rode around and 'round on heaven's wheel
[01:03.97]Father Jesus, I'm an outlaw killer and a thief
[01:11.46]And I slow down only to sow my grief
[01:15.98]
[01:18.17]I'm Outlaw Pete!
[01:21.68]I'm Outlaw Pete!
[01:24.78]Can you hear me?
[01:28.67]
[01:32.09]They cut his trail of tears across the countryside
[01:39.56]And where he went, women wept and men died
[01:43.97]
[01:49.87]One night he woke from a vision of his own death
[01:56.46]Saddled his pony and rode her deep into the West
[02:03.38]Married a Navajo girl and settled down on the res
[02:10.38]And as the snow fell he held that beautiful daughter to his chest
[02:15.59]
[02:17.87]I'm Outlaw Pete!
[02:21.15]I'm Outlaw Pete!
[02:24.26]Can you hear me?
[02:27.66]Can you hear me?
[02:31.16]Can you hear me?
[02:35.47]
[02:59.55]Out of the East on an Irish stallion came Bounty Hunter Dan
[03:06.50]His heart quickened and burned by the need to get his man
[03:13.06]He found Pete peacefully fishing by the river, pulled his gun and got the drop
[03:20.52]He said, "Pete, you think you've changed, but you have not."
[03:25.15]
[03:34.71]He cocked his pistol, pulled the trigger and shouted "let it start"
[03:43.03]Pete drew a knife from his boot, threw it, and pierced Dan through the heart
[03:50.86]Dan smiled as he laid in his own blood dying in the sun
[03:59.02]And whispered in Pete's ear, "We cannot undo these things we've done."
[04:05.60]
[04:08.78]You're Outlaw Pete!
[04:12.96]You're Outlaw Pete!
[04:16.78]Can you hear me?
[04:20.74]Can you hear me?
[04:24.75]Can you hear me?
[04:28.27]
[04:28.74]For forty days and nights Pete rode and did not stop
[04:35.50]Till he sat high upon an icy mountain top
[04:42.78]He watched the hawk on a desert updraft slip and slide
[04:49.77]Moved to the edge and dug his spurs deep into his pony side
[04:54.36]
[05:38.44]Some say Pete and his pony vanished over the edge
[05:48.84]Some say they remain frozen high upon that icy ledge
[05:59.61]The young Navajo girl washes in the river, skin so fair
[06:10.41]And braids a piece of Pete's buckskin chaps into her hair
[06:17.26]
[06:22.18]Outlaw Pete!
[06:27.97]Outlaw Pete!
[06:32.39]Can you hear me?
[06:36.92]Can you hear me?
[06:40.94]Can you hear me?
[06:44.84]Can you hear me?
[06:48.45]Can you hear me?
[06:52.13]Can you hear me?
[06:56.85]
[06:59.47]Can you hear me?
[07:06.78]Can you hear me?
[07:14.19]Can you hear me?
[07:21.42]Can you hear me?
[07:28.78]Can you hear me?
[07:36.17]Can you hear me?
[07:43.90]Can you hear me?
