"The Outsider" lyrics - SHOOTER JENNINGS

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 design
How they keep us all confined
Rubbing oyster of their pearls

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
Long distance driver and I will overcome

My daddy he picked cotton
Not a day was misbegotten
But everyone's forgotten
I almost climbed 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

And I am the outsider
A horse with no rider
I am a fighter when the darkest day is done
And I am a 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

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
An innocence confider and I am only one
