Well dad said son don't you be a fool
|
Stay away from that old brown mule
|
He's mean as a snake and twice as quick
|
Oh but always that kind that had to be shown
|
I couldn't listen I couldn't be told
|
Even way back then I had to get my kicks
|
|
Yeah I been a rebel and it don't pay
|
There ain't no future in livin' this way
|
It ain't worth the trouble and I've tried to change
|
Yeah I done it the hard way all my life
|
It's cost me plenty too many times
|
I been a rebel and it don't pay
|
|
If there's a bump in the road well I hit 'em all
|
You don't really learn 'til you hit a brick wall
|
Back up and say man I could'a gone around that
|
Yeah sometimes I wish I could just go along
|
But that hard headed streak's just a little too long
|
Gettin' first hand knowledge and goin' nowhere fast
|
|
Yeah I been a rebel and it don't pay
|
There ain't no future in livin' this way
|
It ain't worth the trouble and I've tried to change
|
Yeah I done it the hard way all my life
|
It's cost me plenty too many times
|
I been a rebel and it don't pay
|
|
Yeah I been a rebel and it don't pay
|
There ain't no future in livin' this way
|
It ain't worth the trouble and I've tried to change
|
Yeah I done it the hard way all my life
|
It's cost me plenty too many times
|
I been a rebel and it don't pay
