I've Been A Rebel
By David Lee Murphy
G
Well dad said son don't you be a fool
F
Stay away from that ole brown mule
C G
He's mean as a snake and twice as quick
Oh but always the kind that had to be shown
F
I couldn't listen no I couldn't be told
C
Even way back then I had to get my kicks
G
c. Yea I‘ve been a rebel and it don't pay
F
There ain't no future in living this way
C G
It ain't worth the trouble and I've tried to change
Yeah I've done it the hard way all my life
F
It cost me plenty to many times
C G
I been a rebel and it don't pay
G
If there's a bump in the road well I hit'em all
F
You don't really learn till you hit a brick wall
C
G
Back up and say man I could have gone around that
Yeah sometimes I wish I could just go along
F
But that hard headed streaks just a little to long
C G
Getting first hand knowledge going no where fast
repeat chorus:
