Pieces of Eight cover.
"Renegade" is a song by American rock band Styx, released on their 1978 album Pieces of Eight, but released as a single in March of 1979. It is featured in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, as Casey Lynch's encore.
The version featured in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is a rerecording from 2009, initially recorded as DLC for the game Rock Band 2. This version is noticeably different from the original, as it features a different lead singer and lacks the keyboard section of the original. This is because, following the disastrous tour for their 1983 album Killroy Was Here, Styx broke up and have since reformed without lead singer and keyboardist Dennis DeYoung.

Lyrics[]
Oh Mama I'm in fear for my life
From the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to my runnin'
And I'm so far from my home
Oh Mama I can hear you cryin'
You're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows
And I don't have very long
(Yeah!)
The jig is up, the news is out
They've finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This will be the end today
For the wanted man
Whoa Mama I've got a drop to slide
And get a high price on my bike
Lawman said "Get him dead or alive!"
Now it's for sure he'll see my strike
Whoa Momma I can hear you cryin'
You're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows
And I don't have very long
The jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
The judge will have revenge today
On the wanted man
Oh yeah
Oh Mama, I'm in fear for my life
From the long arm of the law
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I don't have very long
The jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This will be the end today
For the wanted man
The wanted man
And I don't wanna go, no no
Now don't let 'em take me
Yeah, whoa, whoop
Yeah yeah yeah, I won't go
Yeah
Trivia[]
- The version of the song featured in Warriors of Rock is not the original. Rather, the song was re-recorded in April 2009 as DLC for the Rock Band series; more than year before Warriors of Rock was released.
