Outlaw Pete by Bruce Springsteen

He was (1)________ a little baby on the Appalachian Trail
At six months old he'd (2)________ three months in jail
He robbed a bank in his diapers and his little bare baby feet
All he (3)________ was "Folks, my name is Outlaw Pete."

I'm Outlaw Pete!
I'm Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?

At twenty-five a mustang pony he did steal
And they rode around and 'round on heaven's wheel
Father Jesus, I'm an (4)____________ killer and a thief
And I slow down only to sow my grief

I'm Outlaw Pete!
I'm Outlaw Pete!
Can you (5)________ me?

They cut his trail of tears across the countryside
And where he went, (6)__________ wept and men died

One night he woke from a (7)____________ of his own death
Saddled his pony and rode her deep into the West
Married a Navajo girl and settled down on the res
And as the (8)________ fell he held
That beautiful daughter to his chest

I'm (9)____________ Pete!
I'm Outlaw Pete!
Can you (10)________ me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

Out of the East on an (11)__________ stallion came Bounty (12)____________ Dan
His heart quickened and (13)____________ by the need to get his man
He found Pete peacefully fishing by the river
Pulled his gun and got the drop
He said, "Pete, you think you've changed, but you have not."

He cocked his pistol, pulled the trigger
And shouted "let it start"
Pete drew a knife from his boot, threw it,
And pierced Dan through the heart
Dan smiled as he (14)________ in his own blood dying in the sun
And whispered in Pete's ear,
"We cannot undo these things we've done."

You're Outlaw Pete!
You're Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you (15)________ me?

For forty days and (16)____________ (17)________ rode and did not stop
Till he sat high (18)________ an icy mountain top
He (19)______________ the hawk on a desert (20)______________ slip and slide
Moved to the edge and dug his spurs deep (21)________ his pony side

Some say Pete and his (22)________ vanished over the edge
Some say (23)________ (24)____________ frozen high upon that icy ledge
The (25)__________ (26)____________ girl (27)____________ in the river, skin so fair
And braids a piece of Pete's buckskin chaps (28)________ her hair

Outlaw Pete!
Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
