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
