Outlaw
Outlaw's Journey: Chasing Dreams Beyond City Lights
Lyrics
When I left my home
Departure from home
I was not much more than a child,
Young and inexperienced
My mother started crying
Mother's emotional reaction to departure
She knew that I was born to be wild
Awareness of a rebellious nature
'Cuse I was looking for the bright lights of the big city,
Desire for urban excitement
A red hot town where the girls are pretty
Attraction to vibrant city life
I took to the highway,
Embarking on a journey
Chasing my dream down the line
Pursuing personal dreams
Heading out for trouble,
Seeking trouble, lacking inner peace
Never finding my peace of mind
Struggling to find contentment
'Cause I been run out of town so many times before
History of being expelled from towns
An' usually kind of places where I can't go back no more
Places where return is impossible
Outlaw, born outside of the law,
Identifying as an outlaw
Just another outlaw,
Embracing the outlaw persona
Man on the run will always take chances for fun
Taking risks for amusement
I never find it easy trying to keep the feeling alive,
Struggling to maintain passion
I've always been a dreamer,
Nurturing a dreamer's spirit
Dreamers find it hard to survive
Challenges faced by dreamers
When they're living in the bright lights of the big city,
Yearning for city lights
A red hot town where the girls are pretty
Attraction to city glamour
Outlaw, born outside of the law,
Reaffirming outlaw identity
Just another outlaw,
Consistent outlaw self-perception
Man on the run will always take chances for fun
Continued risk-taking for enjoyment
Outlaw, born outside of the law,
Reiteration of outlaw status
Just another outlaw,
Confirmation of outlaw nature
Man on the run will always take chances for fun
Perpetual pursuit of thrills
Outlaw, born outside of the law,
Reasserting outlaw identity
Just another outlaw,
Consistent outlaw self-view
Man on the run will always take chances for fun
Continued penchant for risk
Born outside of the law,
Being inherently outside the law
Just another outlaw,
Embracing the outlaw archetype
Man on the run will always take chances for fun
Perpetual enjoyment of risks
Outlaw, outlaw,
Reiteration of outlaw status
Man on the run will always take chances for fun
Continued pursuit of thrill and excitement
