I'm an Outlaw
Riding the Night: Unveiling the Rebel Spirit in 'I'm an Outlaw'
Lyrics
Like minded souls flock together
Like-minded individuals tend to associate with each other.
Just like birds of a black and white feather
People with similar characteristics gather together, akin to birds of a specific feather.
They ride the lightning in the night
They bravely face challenges or dangers, possibly during the nighttime.
Ride bloodshot eyed into the morning light
They endure the consequences of their actions, appearing tired or bloodshot-eyed as they face the morning light.
