The Outsider

歌詞

Jimmy was the son of a sailor Another lonely military brat Norfolk, Virgina, Vallejo Bags always packed Now his mother was always out drinking On midnight maneuvers of her own Jimmy would sit there and stare at the clock And one night she never came home That's how he learned the facts of life From a mother and a sailor's wife Now he's out there somewhere on his own He's always been an Outsider Taking on the world alone Such an outsider And it really doesn't matter who's right or wrong 'Cause sooner or later he's gone Outsider Jimmy tried his luck in the Navy To see the world just like his old man But too many rules and too many fools Spoiled his plans Now he's driving a truck through the Southland Pulling anything that money can buy He knows how it feels to fall asleep at the wheel So he takes a little pill to get by He's living on borrowed time He doesn't see the danger signs Now he's out there somewhere on his own He's always been an Outsider Taking on the world again Just an outsider And it really doesn't matter whose side he's on 'Cause sooner or later he's gone Ooh sweet isolation Aah the perfect situation Outsider outsider He's living on the border line Living in a different time Now he's out there somewhere on his own He's always been an outsider
