Charlie Daniels Band Renegade Lyrics

Renegade Lyrics

Well, I went down to Nashville

In 1973

And they won't nobody in Music City

Wanted anything to do with me



They said, '€œBoy you sure dress funny

And you just don't fit our crowd

And your music's weird, your hair's too long

And you play that guitar way too loud'€?



I said, "Yeah, I know, I'm different

I know, I'm not the same

And you may drive a big Cadillac car

But I ain't gonna play your game'€?



And you can put me down in this guitar town

And I ain't gonna be afraid

'Cause I'm a proud walkin', slow talkin'

Hard headed, high steppin' genuine renegade



Well, I ain't afraid to tell you what's on my mind

I just ain't the bashful type

I go all the way for the U.S.A.

'Cause I love them stars and stripes



I ain't never been scared of nothin'

And I'm a renegade to the bone

So if you're looking for trouble better bring you some help

I'm a little bit more than you can handle alone



I'm mighty proud of Dixie

I'm just full of Southern pride

I'm a catfish connoisseur

And I know, I'm countryfied



I get an ornery streak sometimes when I speak

But I guess, it's just the price I paid

'Cause I'm a hard drivin' survivin'

Four wheelin', straight dealin' genuine renegade



And you can put me down in this guitar town

I ain't gonna be afraid

'Cause I'm a proud walkin', slow talkin'

Hard headed, high steppin' genuine renegade
