Outlaw Pete is a book by Bruce Springsteen and artwork by Frank Caruso and based on the 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. According to Springsteen, "Outlaw Pete is essentially the story of a man trying to outlive and outlast his sins."[2] The story comes from many sources, including the many colorful characters on his album The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle, every western he has seen since he was a kid and all the way back to bedtime stories of Brave Cowboy Bill his mother used to recite to him as a child.[2][3]

Plagiarism controversy
Springsteen has been accused of borrowing heavily from the 1979 track by rock group Kiss, "I Was Made for Lovin' You".[4] Fans noted similarities with the track's guitar riffs and drum sequences, and posted comparisons on YouTube.[5]
