Sing me a rebel song A song that’s gonna save my life tonight The melody lingers on And I still hear the sadness in your voice
Well the stop wheels are off Hell the damage has been done But you’re still throwing punches, damn I hope you land another one Is your candor for effect Or has your zipper come undone Well I keep thinking sooner or later man Something might just go wrong And you smile and you say
“What’s the matter with you boy” Rolled your eyes and turned away Do you have to be so cruel Well I’m still trying to find my way out Of someone else’s song
Well it’s just the blues and that’s okay still Everybody’s talking at me And I can hear the clock a-tick-tocking louder than before Oh, so what if I’m lost and so what if I’m lonely, well What if it’s you that just keeps Reminding me that I’m only just two steps away
From something much bigger than that Well I go home and I try, try to get to grips with it But you, your life it just took off Up the banks of the river with an open mouth I hear you crying
But you ain’t got that magic anymore And regret will come knocking at your door You feel bad now, don’t you boy Don’t feel bad for me, I hate that
Sing me a rebel song A song that’s gonna save my life tonight The melody lingers on And I still hear the sadness in your voice
Sing me a rebel song A song that’s gonna save my life tonight The melody lingers on But I still hear the sadness in your voice
With my back against the wall I hear the darkness call I thought you had the answer baby Thought you had the answers to it all
But you ain’t got that magic anymore And regret, it comes knocking at your door
Sing me a rebel song A song that’s gonna save my life tonight The melody lingers on But I still hear the sadness in your voice
Sing me a rebel song A song that’s gonna save my life tonight The melody lingers on But I still hear the sadness in your voice
