Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Outlaw song lyrics

(Joan Jett/Kenny Laguna/Bob Halligan/Ricky Byrd)

Black streak on the boulevard

Another place they don't let you stay

White rain fallin' cold-n-hard

Gotta get thru it anyway

Try to be what ya wanna be

Who's to say you ain't got the right

In a world where you never sleep

Every day is another fight

You can't live with the old rules

And I can understand

So you run to stay sane

When you're an outlaw everyone knows your name

When you're an outlaw everyone thinks you're strange

Try to be what you're born to be

Don't you dare you ain't got the might

When they go and get ya angry

You'll be there to stand and fight

You ain't lookin' for trouble hey, I can understand you but it's here anyway

When you're an outlaw everyone knows your name

When you're an outlaw nobody feels your pain

There goes the renegade you're the one they love to hate

But I don't look at you that way

You can live by your own rules if that's the way you planned

But there's no where to go

When you're an outlaw you run like an outlaw

You live like an outlaw alone like an outlaw

I know you're an outlaw I'm not your enemy

'Cuz you're not an outlaw when you're alone with me

So c'mon outlaw, outlaw
