Times are changing, you bet
Seems the older I get
The less I seem to fit
In a young person's world
And the higher I climb,
The more I see design
How they keep us all confined
Robbing oysters of their pearls
I am the outsider
A horse with no rider
I am a fighter
When the darkest day is done
And I am the survivor
Not a lay down and dier
A long distance driver
And I will overcome
My daddy he picked cotton
Not a day was misbegotten
But everyone's forgotten
Longest climb to the pearly gates
And next to him I've had an easy road
But I had my own heavy load
A bitter kiss has been bestowed
On the son of a rebel saint
And I am the outsider
A horse with no rider
I am a fighter
When the darkest day is done
I am a survivor
Not a lay down and dier
A long distance driver
And I will overcome
Every human has a right
To form a union, rise up, and fight
We're six minutes to midnight
With an over flowing cup
For every child born a bastard
For every momma's life that's past her
For every inside job disaster
We ain't giving up!
Yes, I am the outsider
A horse with no rider
A shelter provider
When the Judgment Day has come
I am the survivor
Not a lay down and dier
An innocence confider
And I am only one
