"Out in the Fields" is a song by Irish musicians Gary Moore and Phil Lynott, who had previously been bandmates in Thin Lizzy. Written by Moore and released as a single in 1985, the song was also featured on his album Run for Cover in the same year. It is about the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The song performed well commercially, reaching No. 3 in the Irish Singles Chart and No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart, making it the highest-charting single for both of the performers. "Out in the Fields" was also one of the last recordings made by Phil Lynott before his death on 4 January 1986. Moore has described "Out in the Fields" as an "anti-war song". He told Record Mirror in 1985: "It says that killing is wrong whether you're black, white, yellow or purple. It's wrong for anybody to get a bullet for something they believe in." Moore felt that Lynott's voice would suit the song and asked him to team up to record and promote it. They took what Moore described as a "very modern and sophisticated approach" to recording it.
