[BRIDGE:] She says, baby, I don’t know Just how to explain And I can’t see the sense And I can’t play this game But he’s not even listening He stares at the ground And she won’t ever know What was on his mind
[CHORUS:] Well, now, he’s a rebel without a cause Hey, c’mon, let’s make a deal See your name in lights just like Jimmy Dean Live and die behind the wheel
Opened out on the highway Leaving her far behind There’s a star down on Sunset He says, yeah, this one’s mine

Well, now, Mr. D whispered in his ear Hey, c’mon, let’s make a deal Engines running hot, singing Jimmy Dean Anytime there’s time to kill
He drove like a demon And he burned up the screen But he never looked back, no She just wasted my time
[CHORUS]
Gonna let those horses loose again Hey, c’mon, let’s make a deal See them running wild just like Jimmy Dean Overdrive in chrome and steel Hey, c’mon Hey, c’mon, let’s make a deal Well, now, he’s a rebel without a cause Live and die behind the wheel
