Flying into the sunset at thirty thousand feet Thinking that every road I take leeds to another mystery Belong me all the troubled And above me empty sky When did I know that I was born To walk on the renegade side?
My parents tried raise me well and to give me eyes to see That the only things worth fighting for all the ones that don't come for free They stood by me in the darkness And they billed me with their pride But did they know they were teaching me To walk on the renegade side?
A heart filled with passion A mind filled with dreams You say nothing can change The things you believe But someday somebody will make you decide To run while you can or stand On the renegade side
To every person out there tonight who feels like he don't belong Who was born with dreams that seemed so right In a world that seems so wrong There's a million more who felt like you 'Til they finally realize Sometimes the only chance you've got is Out on the renegade side
Some were born to carry Some were born to ride I always knew that I was born To walk on the renegade side

ジュリー・アンドリュース主演の映画「暁の出撃」( 1970年米)の挿入歌。 タイトルのwhistling in the darとは慣用句で,〈whistling in the dark : (こわさをごまかすため)暗闇で口笛を吹く;危機に臨んで平静を装う。;あてずっぽうを言う。〉などとあり,映画の内容からすると2番目の意味を当てているのかもしれません。
Often I think this sad, old world Is whistling in the dark Just like a child, who, late from school Walks bravely home through the park To keep their spirits soaring And keep the night at bay Neither quite knowing which way they are going They sing the shadows away
Often I think my poor, old heart Has given up for good And then I see a brave new face I glimpse some new neighborhood So walk me back home, my darling Tell me dreams really come true Whistling, whistling, here in the dark with you Whistling, whistling, here in the dark with you
