Lyrics of Duke & Goldie – Outsider

I wasn’t born in some dark hollow
Not a coal miner’s son
My dad would say “son most choose to follow”
But you’re not like those other ones

So I headed out like some old wanderer
But no tumbleweeds tumbled by
In search of what, I couldn’t say for sure
Or who I was really trying to find

In the saddle I’ll never ride
Like those heroes of honky tonk life
I am an outsider without a doubt
Isn’t that what country’s all about

Many were the nights when I’d walk the floor
In a maze of thoughts with feelings insecure
To have not been born in the south of America
I believed my soul just wasn’t pure

It took some time to realize
The meaning of those songs
A kinship I would find
When I put those records on

In the saddle I’ll never ride
Like those heroes of honky tonk life
I am an outsider without a doubt
Isn’t that what country’s all about

Don’t let them tell you you don’t belong
You’ll find your place will surely come along
When confronted by this world of greed
Oh an outsider is the thing to be

In the saddle I’ll never ride
Like those heroes of honky tonk life
I am an outsider without a doubt
Isn’t that what country’s all about
Isn’t that what country’s all about
