The Outsider

Lyrics

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 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 a lay 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
 The longest climb to the Pearly Gates
 And next to him, I've 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
 I am a survivor
 Not a lay 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
 We're six minutes to midnight
 With an overflowing cup
 For every child born a bastard
 For every momma's life that's passed her
 For every inside job disaster
 We ain't giving up
 I am the outsider
 A horse with no rider
 Shelter provider when the Judegement Day has come
 'Cause I am the survivor
 Not a lay down and die-er
 A little sense can finder
 And I am only one
