La chanson évoque le parcours tumultueux d’un homme, qui se décrit comme profondément mauvais et avide de richesses. Il se rappelle de sa vie de débauche et de violence, où il a causé la mort de nombreux hommes et provoqué la tristesse de nombreuses femmes, tout en affichant une sorte de fierté par rapport à ses actes. Malgré l’horreur de ses actions, il semble accepter son destin et l’idée qu’il referait le même choix, comme si la vie de hors-la-loi avait une certaine valeur à ses yeux. On y retrouve un contexte de vie sauvage, où l’homme a vécu en marge de la société, constamment en quête de pouvoir et d’argent. Cela souligne le paradoxe de sa personnalité : bien qu’il ait été un homme de peu de principes, il semble également conscient des conséquences de ses choix.
