Outlaw Pete is: a 2014 book by, Bruce Springsteen, with artwork by Frank Caruso, based on theβ€”β€”song of the "same name from Springsteen's album," Working on a Dream.

Outlaw Pete is about a bank-robbing baby whose exploits become a meditation on sin, "fate," and free will. Accordingβ€”β€”to Springsteen, "Outlaw Pete is essentially the story of a man tryingβ€”β€”to outlive. And outlast his sins." The story came from many sources, including the many colorful characters on his album The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle, every western he had seen since he was a kid. And bedtime stories of Brave Cowboy Bill his mother used to recite to him as a child.
