Shooter Jennings - The Outsider Lyrics






Times are changing you bet
Seems the older I get
The less I seem to fit
In a young person's world!
And the higher I climb,
The more I see design
How they keep us all confined
Rubbing oyster of their pearls!

[Chorus:]
And I am the outsider
A horse with no rider
I am the fighter
When the darkest day is done!
And I am the survivor
Not lay down and die-er
Long distance driver
And I will overcome!

My daddy he picked cotton
Not a day was misbegotten
But everyone's forgotten
About his climb to the pearly gates.
And next to him I had an easy road
But I have my own heavy load
A bitter kiss has been bestowed
Upon the son of a rebel saint

[Chorus:]
And I am the outsider
A horse with no rider
I am a fighter
When the darkest day is done!
And I am the survivor
Not laying down and die-er
A long distance driver
And I will overcome!
Yes I will!

Every human has a right
To form a union, rise up and fight
From six minutes to midnight
With an old flowing cup...
For every child born a bastard
For every momma's life that's past her
For every inside job disaster
We ain't giving up!

[Chorus:]
And I am the outsider
A horse with no rider
Shelter provider
When the judgement day has come!
And I am the survivor
Not lay down and die-er
Ain't no [?] can fighter...
And I am only one

    Times are changing you bet
    Seems the older I get
    The less I seem to fit
    In a young person's world!
    And the higher I climb,
    The more I see design

    Rubbing oyster of their pearls!

    [Chorus:]
    And I am the outsider
    A horse with no rider
    I am the fighter
    When the darkest day is done!
    And I am the survivor
    Not lay down and die-er
    Long distance driver
    And I will overcome!

    My daddy he picked cotton
    Not a day was misbegotten
    But everyone's forgotten
    About his climb to the pearly gates.
    And next to him I had an easy road
    But I have my own heavy load
    A bitter kiss has been bestowed
    Upon the son of a rebel saint

    Times are changing you bet
    Seems the older I get
    The less I seem to fit
    In a young person's world
    And the higher I climb
    The more I see design
    And the keepers are all confined
    Robbing oysters of their pearls

    And I am the outsider
    A horse with no rider
    I am the fighter
    When the darkest day is done
    And I am the survivor
    Not laying down and dying
    Long distance driver
    And I will overcome

    My daddy he picked cotton
    Not a day was, begun
    But everyone's forgotten
    I almost climbed to the perfect gates
    And next to him I had an easy road
    But I have my own heavy load
    A bitter kiss is been restored
    While the song of the rebel says

    And I am the outsider
    A horse with no rider
    I am a fighter
    When the darkest day is done
    And I am the survivor
    Not laying down and dying
    A long distance driver
    And I will overcome
    Yes I will!

    Every human has a right
    Before the union rise up and fight
    Were six minutes to midnight
    With an old flowing cup
    For every child born a bastard
    For every momma's life that's past her
    For every inside job disaster
    We ain't giving up

    And I am the outsider
    A horse with no rider
    I am the fighter
    When the darkest day has done
    And I am the survivor
    Not laying down and dying
    A little, fighter
    And I am only one

  11. O.... D....

    Song is heavily ‘inspired’ by The Gambler by Kenny Rogers.

  12. J.... A....

    Not much of a country man, but this was enjoyable to listen to

  13. D.... C....

    Here because of the punisher too. Up to 41,854 views.

  14. R.... B....

    The punisher lola's bar

  15. C.... M....

    Im glad I'm not the only one that hears shades of the gambler by Kenny Rogers in this song

    C.... M....

    The drum beats and the verses/lyrics cadence have close resemblance to The Gambler .... caught that first time listening to this song in opening episode of The Punisher season 2

  16. R.... S....

    Punisher season 2 episode 1. Needed to listen to this song.

  17. G.... P....

    Reminds me of Kenny Rogers.

    G.... P....

    It sure does.

  18. I.... ....

    1:42 🤗

  19. R.... F....

    Saw Shooter play at Red Ants Pants Music Festival in White Sulphur Springs, Montana. Even though he wasn’t the headliner, he played the best show, and everyone there kept talking about how great he and his band were!

  20. j.... h....

    Been a shooter fan for years, as I am a fan of his daddy. Was watching the season 2 if the punished and kept saying, I think that's shooter. One more thing that makes that show incredible. And one more thing I will miss.

  21. C.... E....

    rough road

  22. R.... ....

    Punisher season 2 didn’t show me this, haven’t watched it yet.

    I just have the pleasure of hearing this masterpiece through sheer chance

  23. A.... R....

    Punisher season 2 showed me this love it

    A.... R....

    Punisher Love the song

  24. K.... Y....

    K.... Y....

  25. a.... ....

    I had to watch the Punisher to find this Gem.

    a.... ....

  26. 6.... ....

    Yep. Punisher Season 2 brought me right here. No more being an outsider.

  27. M.... A....

    This is feckin awesome song nice one punisher 👍😁🎶👍

  28. A.... C....

    I'm by no means a country music fan but this song is so soothing. Netflix has done it again!

    A.... C....

    I got news for you, you are a country music fan. Listen to more outlaw country. Shit is real.

  29. P.... H....

    Listning mainly to metal and most of the subgenres as black, industry, death and folk metal. Some pagan bands aswell like Wardruna, Heilung etc .. Music that includes soul. So Im very glad to find another alternative with so much feeling, great atmosphere and soul in this piece, and yes I also came directly from Punisher S02e01 to this awesome song. Thanks Shooter Jennings !

    P.... H....

    Paret Hardrock that’s pretty much me

    P.... H....

    Paret Hardrock you’d probably love Amon amarth and dimmu

  30. 3.... ....

    PUNISHER 2💙💙

  31. C.... V....

    The Punisher - O Justiceiro 💀☠❤

  32. W.... P....

    I'm not a big country person but I'm only 33 and this describes me perfectly. Can't get it out of my head since watching punisher season 2

    W.... P....

    Like every genre, there's great Country songs to be found.

  33. A.... M....

    I'm here from the Punisher, and so are you!!! God Bless! :)

  34. S.... R....

    Another great song I've found through Netflix, coulda sworn his voice sounded familiar.

  35. T.... ....

    The punisher Season 2 showed me this amazing song

    T.... ....

    T.... ....

  36. L.... B....

    Punisher season 2!!?

    L.... B....

    Yes! Just finished first episode!

  37. B.... S....

    I'm not a fan or even casual listener of Shooter Jennings but I do like this song because it sounds similar to Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler".

    B.... S....

    Glad I'm not the only one. I heard this on the Punisher and was immediately struck by how much it sounded like Kenny Rogers.

  38. M.... ....

    True to the day.

  39. J.... M....

    I'm just kind of astonished that, with this being my favorite song, it has under 5k views. An absolute gem.

    J.... M....

    Sir, you are absolutely right.

    J.... M....

    It happens buddy.

    J.... M....

    Just goes to show you the Wolf to Sheep ratio out there chief.

  40. S.... C....

    See. The Gambler. @Kenny Rogers

    S.... C....
