Wild as the Western Wind
Outlaw's Pursuit: Running Wild with the Western Wind
Lyrics
Outlaw running from the law but he's
Outlaw is evading the authorities but
Got nowhere to run to
Has no safe haven to escape to
Big law he broke it and ran faster
He committed a significant crime and fled
Than the lightning bolt
Running faster than a lightning bolt
Chasing down the golden sun, running away
Chasing the setting sun, escaping
From the blue
From something melancholic or blue
He ran with no direction in mind, just
Without a specific destination, running wildly
Running like a crazy colt
Similar to a frantic, untamed colt
And he's gonna run let the four winds slap his face
Expressing his determination to face challenges
He's gonna fly, let the sky be his guide
He will soar, using the sky as his guide
He's gonna lie beneath a blanket of stars
Lying under the stars, embracing freedom
He's gonna run, wild as the western wind
Committing to run recklessly, like the western wind
Bad lands are sheltering him, maybe Dakota's
Desolate areas are providing him refuge
His home
Suggesting Dakota might be his place of dwelling
Red man's become his friend, when no one else
An indigenous person is now his ally when
Would have him
No one else would accept him
There's an Indian woman who keeps him from
An Indian woman is his companion, preventing
Being alone
Him from experiencing loneliness
She stands tall by his side, but the law's
She stands firm by his side, despite
Got him out on a limb
The law putting him in a precarious situation
