Renegade Lyrics

Renegade

(Warren Zevon)

 

 Some prayers never reach the sky

 Some wounds never heal

 They still say someday the South will rise

 Man, I want to see that deal

 

 I don't want to grow old gracefully

 I don't want to go 'til it's too late

 I'll be some old man inthe road somewhere

 Kneeling down in the dust by the side of the interstate

 

 CHORUS

 I am a renegade

 I've been a rebel all my days

 I am a renegade

 I've been a rebel all my days

 

 We were hopelessly outnumbered

 It was a lost cause all along

 But when we heard the bugles call

 We swore we'd stand or fall together right or wrong

 

 We ain't seen no reconstruction here

 Just the scorched earth all around

 And the high school band played "Dixieland"

 While they tore our tattered flags and banners down

 

 CHORUS

 

 Soome prayers never reach the sky

 Some wars never end

 Some dreams refuse to die

 Next time I would rather break than bend

 

 CHORUS
