Tom Petty - Rebels lyrics

rate me

Honey, don't walk out, I'm too drunk to follow

You know you won't feel this way tomorrow

Well, just maybe a little rough around the edges

Or inside a little hollow

I get faced with some things, sometimes

That are so hard to swallow, hey!

I was born a rebel, down in Dixie

On a Sunday morning

Yeah, with one foot in the grave

And one foot on the pedal, I was born a rebel

She picked me up in the morning and she paid all my tickets

Then she screamed in the car

Left me out in the thicket

Well, I never would of dreamed

That her heart was so wicked

Yeah, but I keep coming back

‘Cause it's so hard to kick it, hey, hey, hey

I was born a rebel, down in Dixie

On a Sunday morning

Yeah, with one foot in the grave

And one foot on the pedal, I was born a rebel

Even before my father's father

They called us all rebels

As they burned our cornfields

And left our cities leveled

I can still feel the eyes of those blue-bellied devils

Yeah, when I'm walking round at night

Through the concrete and metal, hey, hey, hey

I was born a rebel, down in Dixie

On a Sunday morning

Yeah, with one foot in the grave

And one foot on the pedal, I was born a rebel
