Riot - Outlaw Lyrics
Down below the border,
He robbed a bank in Mexico.
Half crazed on tequila,
He had a, half million in gold.
There's thunder in the ground,
A showdown in the distance,
They're gonna ride him down.
Bet your life on the silver ball,
Spin it, 'round the wheel.
Will it land on the black or the red?
The outlaw's got no deal.
When he gambled with women,
He kept an ace up his sleeve.
He always got what he came for,
Then he was blinded by passion,
Playing a game of fools.
Thought she was lucky,
Thought she was his best bet,
Guess you find out when you lose.
Bet your life on the silver ball,
Spin it, 'round the wheel.
Will it land on the black or the red?
The outlaw's got no deal.
Spin it, 'round the wheel.
Will it land on the black or the red?
The outlaw's got no deal.
Bet your life on the silver ball,
Spin it, 'round the wheel.
Will it land on the black or the red?
The outlaw's got no deal.
Bet your life on the silver ball,
Spin it, 'round the wheel.
Will it land on the black or the red?
The outlaw's got no deal.

Riot Outlaw Comments
Love it !!
It's great song
Here we are in 2020 and realizing this great music is timeless !
I can't remember who turned me on to this band and this album back in the day, but I'm forever grateful. The epitome of '80's metal right here.
🤘🎧🤘
I have to tell you, Riot's Fire Down Under is one of the greatest albums ever made, PERIOD! This elevated hard rock to a new art form. The groove they hit in the last minute and a half of this song is insane!
This is a timless classic, it will live on for a hundred years. Love it.
56 poseurs lurking here.

F.T.W.

Está rola me describe perfectamente en mi adolescencia(hoi tengo 53) pero cuando la escucho ,me siento de poca madre,nunca olviden estás rolas
Lost a life long friend today. This song was mine to him growing up. RIP Brad. Gonna miss ya you outlaw.
Will never get tired of this song. Some of my fondest memories are belting out the chorus at the top of my lungs while hammered.
First Riot album I ever bought. I have everyone now.
It never made sense to me how they didn't break out much bigger than they did. They certainly had the sound and the vibes to be huge where some that came along just didn't have it but seemed to get promoted harder. Yeah, these guys got hosed by contracts - and when Rhett came in, man, they had all the elements. One of those bands that should've been main street, at least as main street as this was back in the day. We cranked them up and turned everyone we knew onto them.
This metal is so heavy they should charge by the pound.
Hell..Maiden was never this good maaaann.....lol.....reeeeaaall HEAVY METAL...OLD SCHOOL???YEAH YOU BET. UNIVERSITY KIDS
Can ever forget this song in Midsummer in the summer 1983, my girlfriend say this, do you remember, i was sold...
First song from RIOT. The Best Band Ever...
Headbangers still love this album metal lives forever
The singer in this lineup turned down an offer to front Anthrax back in the day.
Remember my girlfriend 1983 have u her this song? And I was...
Hell yeah tis outlaw got no deal
one of the best albums ever
RIOT LOVE I ZONE OUT TO THIS BAND
RIOT ROCKS
The Donald Trump Song
RIOT ROCKS
Summer in --83 never forgot this summer, fin women and drinks. And this song wow...
I remember buying this album when it first came out, Believe it was an 81 or 82
Met these guys 1981 backstage at Heavy Metal Holocoust in Stoke UK. Great guys especially Guy Speranza. RIP.
Now that 's an Anthem!
eh....im not sure wot this album has in production coz I know spit about the tecnical side of all that but it certainly has that freshness...maybe unlike Sabs etc it just dont sound OLD.. its like Montrose first album .They sound like school kids in a garage...but when I listen to it often it also has power to rejuvinate me and then i mistakenly go outside ..aaarrrgghhh...lol.. makes me feel and act like the nutty kid I used to be..lol .the solo is awesome though...sorry I just luv wot I luv is all...its scewed to wall genesis of heavy metal and compared to most in 40 years its awesome...just an opinion...HEAVY METAL RETRO HETRO ROCK FOREVER..
like if this track is good to get drunk
1981...Hammersmith Odeon....London....what a band..
200% Energy, one of the ten best Albums ever!!!

Thunder in the ground
Besttttt band ever....csmmmmm
excellent intro
brings back memories of taping songs of the radio saturday nights at midnight
their best album. still awesome
so fucking orgasmic !!!
ASS KICKING 80'S METAL I WOULD GET SO WASTED THIS SHIT. KILLER METAL.RIFFS...
¿Que dice el borracho del final?
bellissima canzone , grazie.
Awesome song. Great album.
This riff is a like a big kick to the fucking guts.
American metal just doesn't get any better than this ! And this is an example of how fucked up the American music industry has been, they shoved this talented band aside for no real reason, they flooded the market with too many glam metal bands during the 80s, that people got disgusted with it, so they had to kill it. It was run by a bunch of cuthroats and I am glad Napster and YouTube took them down
Well said, friend!!
Amen Brother
02:57 Ahh fui a Mexico a buscar lo que queria y lo consegui con el oro por que me encanta el oro .pero no quiero nada oye hermanito aqui en Mexico se vive con fuerza , las mujeres lo dan todo, porque soy el rey de la selva...........
no te pierdo por nada, por el tequila es que te tengo en mi enjambre
hermanito estoy aquí en México

nada! yo no había probado el tequila
jajajaj! mi vida! es lo que debí hacer hermano

1588 Outlaws love this song!
Love this album so great.. Next album restless breed kicks a lot of ass too
Still great today
dont forget april wine too
Anyone wanna translate the spanish near the end of this track? I'm curious.
35 fucking Madonna fans don't like this tune. Piss off. This band rocked and was influential for so many others down the road to the point that they were blatantly ripped odd. Seriously under-rated
I like Madonna and I like this album, is that a problem?
David Day a major influence in the young thrash/power scene
Great band,them and UFO are the best by far!!!
for sure the most underrated hard rock band of the 70's and 80's...and this may be the most under appreciated rock album in history. great production, great writing, great musicians....too bad they didn't get huge like they deserved
Nah this is metal!
This takes me back to a time that hard rock/heavy metal were still closely related....
Very true
I always tell people that this Album was the missing link between 70's hard rock and 80's metal
Thanks!! This's better than Quiet Riot.
never heard it before! good
"Will it land on the black, or the red, The outlaw's got no deal..."
mad track that one !
No doubt!
Totally badass lyrics.. the song tells a story you can see in your head.. totally badass
Riot chingones!
Jeje habló español
clearly man !! close to 50 year old, but it's my youthness !
Pure Metal
These guys flat out ROCK! One of my favorite albums of all time. Has stood the test of time since 1981. RIOT Rules!
with my hand on my cock and horns to winds im the fuckin outlaw! RIOT RULES!
amazing song...i hear this at age of 11 in Tijuana, México...keep in my veins.
One of the most brilliant songs ever!
Back in the day, this was the heaviest band along with Judas and Mötorhead. Definitely, the first power metal band of all times
Mercyful Fate, Venom and others too...
These boys were delivering pounding metal before MF and the iconic Venom. They were ahead of his time. When the underground metal scene explodes around 1980, they have 3 classic albums under his belt
well, if you listen to all Riot discography, isn't all about Metal, so calm down. First 5 albums have nothing to do with power or speed. One thing it's true, that they are class.........
best of Riot..really like this album
This song rocks!!
All headbangers loved this album back then....
Still do mate, still do.
You either knew who they where or you never heard of them. I would be rocking these guys on my pioneer cassett deck in my 63 Dodge Dart and people would be like, "Who the hell are these guys?" RIOT! "You mean Quite Riot?" No! Just RIOT! Another band like that was The Rods.
Still do.
Then and now M8
Still do.
26 Linkin Park fans do not appreciate true metal.
This was fucking amazing, especially by 1981 standards (and especially for American metal)
+Hitman GFX Yeah definitely, Riot was different because new wave swept USA And metal was forced inderground, I just remember MYV wouldnt play this, Iron maiden maybe 4:00 in morning if you were lucky , They refused too play metal faggots
I had an older uncle growing up who bought so many awesome records by bands you never heard on the radio, but we're better than the rock bands on the radio, or, at least they weren't of the "cookie cutter" style of same old, same old, and this was one of the bands. I grew up on some rate and awesome bands and it taught me to do the same - to never follow trends, and go with your gut, and buy shit that's real, written by real artists, who play their asses off.
I can't believe this band wasnt bigger.
why do they have a hamster on their album cover, WTF
+SpikeMichaels
its an evil hamster cuz he listens to this music
+SpikeMichaels it is a seal, it is on all of them - at least the first few
+Steve Radell Still appears in the cover of "Army of One". I found this avatar amazing and über original
+Sammi Curr looks like a sloth...
+SpikeMichaels its johnny the seal Riot's mascot. Thus the song Johnny's Back on Thundersteel :)
Riot - Outlaw - Fire Down Under (1981)
FUCK YAHH!!!!!!!!!
Is it just me, or is this the most well produced rock/metal album of all time?
I think this is from far the best Riot album, alongside Narita and Rock City
Sadly, after those albums, it just turns into some speed power metal band :(
The actual Riot is called Riot V and has nothing to do with the old one, because they only say ''we'll go back to thundersteel era'', even though 90% of their fans came from the three first albums (this, rock city and narita)
Definitely up there.. Warrior is my favourite all time behind hallowed be the name. That says summat to say this was almost a decade before.
It’s pretty bad ass....after all these years. I’ve had this on vinyl since back in the day.
Nah! Probably would be Powerslave. Nah i think it is Powerslave. Martin Birch.
Had this record way back when. So glad I picked it up. I don't even remember how I stumbled across it. Probably MetalShop. The only show with teeth
