Indian Outlaw

"Indian Outlaw" is a song written by Tommy Barnes, Jumpin' Gene Simmons, and John D. Loudermilk, and recorded by American country music artist Tim McGraw.

The narrator describes himself as a rebellious American Indian character, "Half Cherokee and Choctaw".

The song was considered controversial at the time, due to its stereotypical portrayal of Native Americans;[2][3] as a result, some radio stations refused to play it.

[4] Larry Flick of Billboard called it an "incredible single" that is "positively stuffed with lyrical and musical Native American cliches, from tomtoms to wigwams to peace pipes."

"[5] In a review of Not a Moment Too Soon for the same publication, "Indian Outlaw" was again noted as clichéd; the authors deemed it "either one of the catchiest or one of the stupidest songs ever written.
