The Outsiders Lyrics

They’re the in crowd, we’re the other ones
It’s a different kind of cloth that we’re cut from
We let our colors show, where the numbers ain’t
With the paint where there ain’t supposed to be paint

That’s who we are
That’s how we roll
The Outsiders, The outsiders

Our women get hot, and our leather gets stained
When we saddle up and ride 'em in the pouring rain
We’re the junkyard dogs, we’re the alley cats
Keep the wind at our front, and the hell at our back

That’s who we are
We do our talking, walk that walk
Wide open rocking
That’s how we roll

Our backs to the wall
A band of brothers
Together, alone, the outsiders
We’re the riders, we’re the ones burning rubber off our tires.
Yeah, we’re the fighters, the all-nighters
So fire 'em up and get a lil higher

Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh

We’re the bad news
We’re the young guns
We’re the ones that they told you to run from
Yeah, the player’s gonna play, and a haters gonna hate
And a regulators born to regulate
When it hits the fan, and it all goes down
And the gloves come off
You’re gonna find out just

Who we are
We do our talking, walk that walk
Wide open rocking
That’s how we roll

Our backs to the wall
A band of brothers
Together, alone, the outsiders

We’re the riders, we’re the ones burning rubber off our tires
Yeah, we’re the fighters, the all-nighters
So fire 'em up and get a lil higher

Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
The outsiders
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
The outsiders
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
You’re gonna know who we are

Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
The outsiders
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh

That’s who we are

The Outsiders

The first single from Eric Church's fourth album is a gritty left-field rocker that was written by Church and Casey Beathard and helmed by Jay Joyce, Church's longtime producer. The song was officially sent for radio adds on October 28, 2013.

Casey Beathard also co-penned Church's last single, "Like Jesus Does." The Nashville songwriter's other credits include "The Breath You Take" by George Strait and "The Boys of Fall" by Kenny Chesney.

The Metal moments that mark the song's last minute came during a jam and resemble nothing you've heard on Country radio. "If you go past that, it's a cliff," Church told The Associated Press "Sometimes I feel like we're leaning over it."

The renegade spirit of the song perfectly sums up Church's career. "A lot of people think it's ironic that we've had the success we've had over the last couple of years, won awards and had #1s, and it's called The Outsiders," Church told Billboard magazine. "But it's about the journey to get to that point. I certainly have a place in my heart for anybody who is different, anybody who is doing things that other people aren't doing. I've been that person. This song's for a 13- or 14-year-old kid who doesn't quite have it all together yet and he's the outcast. It's a gladiator song. It's a locker-room song. It fires you up."
