The Outsider Lyrics - The Other Life - Shooter Jennings

The Outsider 

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 see design 

How they keep us all confined 

Robbing oysters of their pearls 

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 a lay down and dier 

A long distance driver 

And I will overcome 

My daddy he picked cotton 

Not a day was misbegotten 

But everyone's forgotten 

Longest climb to the pearly gates 

And next to him I've had an easy road 

But I had my own heavy load 

A bitter kiss has been bestowed 

On 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 

I am a survivor 

Not a lay down and dier 

A long distance driver 

And I will overcome 

Every human has a right 

To form a union, rise up, and fight 

We're six minutes to midnight 

With an over 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! 

Yes, I am the outsider 

A horse with no rider 

A shelter provider 

When the Judgment Day has come 

I am the survivor 

Not a lay down and dier 

An innocence confider 

And I am only one
