(david lee murphy)

well dad said son don´t you be a fool
stay away from that old brown mule
he´s mean as a snake and twice as quick
oh but always that kind that had to be shown
i couldn´t listen i couldn´t be told
even way back then i had to get my kicks

yeah i been a rebel and it don´t pay
there ain´t no future in livin´ this way
it ain´t worth the trouble and i´ve tried to change
yeah i done it the hard way all my life
it´s cost me plenty too many times
i been a rebel and it don´t pay

if there´s a bump in the road well i hit ´em all
you don´t really learn ´til you hit a brick wall
back up and say man i could´a gone around that
yeah sometimes i wish i could just go along
but that hard headed streak´s just a little too long
gettin´ first hand knowledge and goin´ nowhere fast

yeah i been a rebel and it don´t pay
there ain´t no future in livin´ this way
it ain´t worth the trouble and i´ve tried to change
yeah i done it the hard way all my life
it´s cost me plenty too many times
i been a rebel and it don´t pay

yeah i been a rebel and it don´t pay
there ain´t no future in livin´ this way
it ain´t worth the trouble and i´ve tried to change
yeah i done it the hard way all my life
it´s cost me plenty too many times
i been a rebel and it don´t pay
