Well dad said son don't you be a foolStay away from that old brown muleHe's mean as a snake and twice as quickOh but always that kind that had to be shownI couldn't listen I couldn't be toldEven way back then I had to get my kicksYeah I been a rebel and it don't payThere ain't no future in livin' this wayIt ain't worth the trouble and I've tried to changeYeah I done it the hard way all my lifeIt's cost me plenty too many timesI been a rebel and it don't payIf there's a bump in the road well I hit 'em allYou don't really learn 'til you hit a brick wallBack up and say man I could'a gone around thatYeah sometimes I wish I could just go alongBut that hard headed streak's just a little too longGettin' first hand knowledge and goin' nowhere fastYeah I been a rebel and it don't payThere ain't no future in livin' this wayIt ain't worth the trouble and I've tried to changeYeah I done it the hard way all my lifeIt's cost me plenty too many timesI been a rebel and it don't payYeah I been a rebel and it don't payThere ain't no future in livin' this wayIt ain't worth the trouble and I've tried to changeYeah I done it the hard way all my lifeIt's cost me plenty too many timesI been a rebel and it don't pay
