Sing Me a Rebel Song

Sing me a rebel song

A song that's gonna save my life tonight

The melody lingers on

And I still hear the sadness in your voice

Well the stop wheels are off

Hell, the damage has been done

But you're still throwing punches

Damn, I hope you land another one

Is your candour for effect?

Or has your zipper come undone

Why I keep thinking sooner or later man

Something might just go wrong

And you smile and you say

What's the matter with you boy?

Rolled your eyes and turned away

Do you have to be so coy?

Hell I'm still trying to find my way out of someone else's song

It's just the booze, well that's ok

Still everybody's talkin at me

And I hear the clock a tick tockin louder than before

So what if I'm lost and so what if I'm lonely

Well, what if it's you that keeps reminding me

That I'm only just two steps away

From something much bigger than this

Well, I go home and I try, I try to get to grips with it

But you, your life just took off

Up the banks of the river with an open mouth

I hear you cryin

But you ain't got that magic anymore

And regret will come a knocking at your door

You feel bad now, don't you boy

Well don't feel bad for me

I hate that

Sing me a rebel song

A song that's gonna save my life tonight

The melody lingers on

But I still hear the sadness in your voice

Sing me a rebel song

A song that's gonna save my life tonight

The melody lingers on

But I still hear the sadness in your voice

With my back against the wall

Will I hear the darkness call

I thought you had the answers to it, baby

I thought you had the answers to it all

But you ain't got that magic anymore

And regret it comes a knocking at your door

Sing me a rebel song

A song that's gonna save my life tonight

The melody lingers on

And I still hear that sadness in your voice

Sing me a rebel song

A song that's gonna save my life tonight

The melody lingers on

I still hear that sadness in your voice
