Outlaw Pete by Bruce Springsteen

He was (1)________ a little (2)________ on the Appalachian Trail
At six (3)____________ old he'd done three months in jail
He robbed a (4)________ in his diapers and his (5)____________ bare baby feet
All he (6)________ was "Folks, my name is Outlaw Pete."

I'm Outlaw Pete!
I'm (7)____________ 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 outlaw (8)____________ and a thief
And I (9)________ down only to sow my grief

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

They cut his (11)__________ of tears across the countryside
And where he went, (12)__________ wept and men died

One (13)__________ he woke from a vision of his own death
Saddled his pony and (14)________ her deep into the West
Married a Navajo girl and settled down on the res
And as the (15)________ 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 came Bounty Hunter Dan
His heart quickened and burned by the need to get his man
He (16)__________ Pete peacefully fishing by the river
Pulled his gun and got the drop
He said, "Pete, you think you've changed, but you (17)________ not."

He cocked his pistol, (18)____________ the trigger
And shouted "let it start"
Pete drew a knife (19)________ his boot, threw it,
And pierced Dan through the heart
Dan smiled as he (20)________ in his own blood dying in the sun
And whispered in Pete's ear,
"We cannot undo (21)__________ (22)____________ we've done."

You're (23)____________ Pete!
You're Outlaw Pete!
Can you hear me?
Can you (24)________ me?
Can you (25)________ me?

For forty days and nights Pete rode and did not stop
Till he sat high upon an icy mountain top
He watched the hawk on a (26)____________ (27)______________ slip and slide
Moved to the edge and dug his spurs deep into his pony side

Some say (28)________ and his pony vanished (29)________ the edge
Some say they remain frozen high upon that icy ledge
The young Navajo (30)________ washes in the river, skin so fair
And braids a piece of Pete's buckskin chaps into her hair

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