"Renegade" is a 1979 hit song recorded by the American rock band Styx on their eighth studio album, Pieces of Eight.
Written and sung by singer/guitarist Tommy Shaw, "Renegade" is an uptempo hard rock song from the perspective of a wanted criminal who knows his choices will lead to his death. "Renegade" was a hit on both Canadian and American sales charts, and is often regarded as one of the band's best songs.
