Renegade

Well, I went down to Nashville

In 1973

And they won't nobody in Music City

Wanted anything to do with me

They said,? Boy 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
