Springsteen, Bruce - Outlaw Pete Lyrics
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 little bare baby feet
All he said was "Folks my name is Outlaw Pete"
I'm Outlaw Pete, I'm Outlaw Pete, can you hear me?
At 25 a Mustang pony he did steal
And he rode her 'round 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
I'm Outlaw Pete, I'm Outlaw Pete, can you hear me?
He cut his trail of tears across the countryside
And where he went women wept and men died
One night he awoke from a vision of his own death
Married a Navajo girl and settled down on the res.
And as the snow fell he held their beautiful daughter to his chest
I'm Outlaw Pete, I'm Outlaw Pete, can you hear me?
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Out of the East on an Irish stallion came bounty hunter Dan
His heart quickened and burdened by the need to get his man
He found Pete peacefully fishing by the river
Pulled his gun and got the drop
He said "Pete you think you've changed but you have not"
He cocked his pistol pulled the trigger and shouted, "Let it start"
Pete drew a knife from his boot, threw it,
And pierced Dan through the heart
Dan smiled as he lay in his own blood dying in the sun
Whispered in Pete's ear "We cannot undo these things we've done"
You're Outlaw Pete, You're Outlaw Pete, can you hear me?
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
For forty days & nights Pete rode and did not stop
Till he sat high upon an icy mountaintop
He watched a hawk on a desert updraft, slip & slide
Moved to the edge and dug his spurs deep into his pony's side
Some say Pete and his pony vanished over the edge
And some say they remain frozen high up on that icy ledge
A young Navajo girl washes in the river, her skin so fair
And braids a piece of Pete's buckskin chaps into her hair
Outlaw Pete, Outlaw Pete, can you hear me?
Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

God is singing
Very powerful. But lyrics funny too. Unique. From one of the old school masters. I love it 🌴
It would take a lesser writer 300 pages to write this story.
Es una canción muy bonita y con rabia
Well, for people who say that Springsteen plagiarized I was made for lovin you, even Kiss did something even more cheeky with Bruce and nobody says anything.

I was there......right down on the barrier that night at Glastonbury..... right there in front of Bruce....what made it even better was I'd brought my kids up on Bruce ...well ..I'll admit.....force fed them basically... ever since they were babies in the cot and they were both at my side that gorgeous summers night in Glastonbury too .........They've scattered across the world now and life moves on.... my daughter lives in San Francisco many miles from her Pa........ but we had that night together which sort of closed up their childhood and set them off on their roads ....and Bruce is still my muse and my idol and my dream. :)
...
This is the 1st time I've seen this song performed. It's amazing!!
The blessing of a daughter with an older brother are things in life that can not be undone, especially when they are in "Your Hometown." Funny how life happens. I pray for grace of God to prevail in The Heart of the Divine Champion in "The Sea of Heartbreak" "You Never Can Tell"
Kiss Springsteen
Hard to believe only 108,000 people have treated themselves to this masterpiece. Available at this great You Tube site. My brother would not have committed suicide had he known a You Tube-site was en route. I start every day with as much positive feedback as humanly possible. Meaning Bruce and Company. Almost scary to accomplish something this profound. Thanks to Bruce and E-Street - this is just mesmerizing - an orchestra unto itself. Have a great Christmas, New Year's - 2018. In Bruce's name and honor let's all try to accomplish something splendid/never-before-seen in 2018.
Love this track & love it more live

I'm Outlaw Pete, I'm Outlaw Pete, can you hear me?
He cut his trail of tears across the countryside
And where he went women wept and men died
One night he awoke from a vision of his own death
Saddled his pony and rode out deep into the West
Married a Navajo girl and settled down on the res.
And as the snow fell he held their beautiful daughter to his chest
I'm Outlaw Pete, I'm Outlaw Pete, can you hear me?
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

phoney music... springsteen... phoney w/ a face lift ... and died black hair.... the biggest shame in rock music history.... only the tone dead and deaf... what i hear here is awful noise...
+Figaro Lucowswki Troll.
"What I hear here is awful noise..." Well, it's not your fault you're deaf.
Figaro Lucowswki so why listen to it?
Lol you're an idiot. Hows troll life? Keyboard treating you well? I am curious though... how many albums have you sold world wide? Stadiums sold out?
Music masterpiece..how many people turn up to see you 😄😄😄😄
the best of the Boss!!!!
THAT' S THE SONG!
he´s coming to rio de Janeiro.
Welcome Boss
Fabulous...Springsteen is the greatest ever in my opinion
hi, did they broadcast bruce's cover of coma girl?
Секс
top tune xoxo
oi oi can ya hear me outlaw mark
Bounty Hunter Dan disliked this video.
"At 6 months old, he'd done 3 months in jail"...one of the best lines ever!!
How can a Jersey Boy capture the heart, soul, and spirit of the West in such an amazing epic Western Musical Story? It fairly screams Clint Eastwood, I can feel all of those spirits of Clint Eastwood Movies Past. It is Amazing.
Long Live The Boss!!!!!
Bruce Springsteen is truly an American Treasure. He's right up there with his hero Bob Dylan as one of the last remaining American Songwriting Bards. He combines the profound socially conscious voice of Dylan, with the energy of James Brown, with the voice of Roy Orbison, the gift for songcraft of Lennon/McCartney and the showmanship of Elvis.
Is Bruce's Glastonbury gig available on dvd? Some morons went to watch Franz Ferdinand's set instead; good decsion!
im clarence clemons son
pete you think you've changed.... but you have not!
First of all I LOOOOOOVE you BRUUUUUUUCE! You are A LIVING AMERICAN LEGEND and I treasure each new song you write and amazing live performance I can see of yours on YouTube- allowing me the next best experience to the transcedental experience of seeing you and the E Street band live.
Secondly, did anybody else hear a VERY brief but, to me, unmistakable homage to the Beatles Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End piano piece from 6:45 to 6:51 in the video?
Just AWESOME!
is there a dvd of the complete show??
@elpipila88

graciaaas por subir esto
