Outlaw Pete by Bruce Springsteen

He was (1)________ a little baby on the (2)______________________ Trail
At six months old he'd (3)________ three months in jail
He robbed a bank in his diapers and his (4)____________ bare baby feet
All he said was "Folks, my name is Outlaw Pete."

I'm Outlaw Pete!
I'm (5)____________ 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 (6)____________ killer and a thief
And I slow down only to sow my grief

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

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

One night he woke (8)________ a vision of his own death
Saddled his (9)________ and rode her deep into the West
Married a Navajo girl and settled down on the res
And as the (10)________ fell he held
That beautiful 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 East on an Irish stallion (11)________ Bounty Hunter Dan
His heart quickened and burned by the (12)________ 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 (13)__________ from his boot, threw it,
And pierced Dan (14)______________ the heart
Dan (15)____________ as he laid in his own blood dying in the sun
And whispered in Pete's ear,
"We cannot undo (16)__________ things we've done."

You're Outlaw Pete!
You're Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?
Can you (17)________ me?
Can you (18)________ me?

For forty (19)________ and nights Pete rode and did not stop
Till he sat high upon an icy mountain top
He watched the hawk on a desert updraft (20)________ and slide
Moved to the edge and dug his (21)__________ deep (22)________ his pony side

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

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