Why an "outlaw" 03/17/26(Tue)06:55:28 No.1559991
Why an "outlaw" Anonymous 03/17/26(Tue)06:55:28 No.1559991 Archived
In couple of the Marty Robbins' songs he refers to horses as outlaws and as funny as the picture of cowboys riding bandits like horses is I'm curious as to why a horse would be called and outlaw or where it even comes from

Sounds like synecdoche -- a part of something representing the whole (e.g., "hired hands" are workers}.
What song specifically?

There's a couple. The ones that come to mind are Old Red, The Cowboy In The Continental Suit and The Strawberry Roan

Ah, I see. Not a synedoche, just a metaphor (e.g., my car is a piece of shit).
