Outlaw Pete by Bruce Springsteen

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

I'm Outlaw Pete!
I'm Outlaw Pete!
Can you (3)________ 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 outlaw killer and a thief
And I (4)________ down only to sow my grief

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

They cut his (5)__________ of tears across the countryside
And (6)__________ he went, (7)__________ wept and men died

One (8)__________ he (9)________ from a vision of his own death
Saddled his pony and rode her deep into the West
Married a Navajo (10)________ and settled (11)________ on the res
And as the snow (12)________ he held
That (13)__________________ daughter to his chest

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

Out of the (14)________ on an Irish stallion came Bounty Hunter Dan
His heart quickened and burned by the need to get his man
He (15)__________ Pete peacefully fishing by the river
Pulled his gun and got the drop
He said, "Pete, you think you've changed, but you (16)________ not."

He cocked his pistol, pulled the trigger
And shouted "let it start"
Pete (17)________ a (18)__________ from his boot, (19)__________ it,
And pierced Dan through the heart
Dan smiled as he laid 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 hear me?

For forty days and (20)____________ Pete rode and did not stop
Till he sat high upon an icy (21)________________ top
He watched the hawk on a desert updraft (22)________ and slide
Moved to the edge and dug his spurs deep into his pony side

Some say Pete and his (23)________ vanished over the edge
Some say they remain frozen high upon that icy ledge
The (24)__________ Navajo girl washes in the river, (25)________ so fair
And (26)____________ a piece of Pete's (27)________________ chaps into her hair

Outlaw Pete!
Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?
Can you (28)________ me?
Can you hear me?
