Rebels Lyrics By Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

    honey don’t walk out i’m too drunk to follow
    you know you won’t feel this way tomorrow
    well maybe a little rough around the edges
    or inside a little hollow
    i get faced with some things sometimes
    that are so hard to swallow hey

    i was born a rebel down in dixie
    on a sunday mornin’
    yeah with one foot in the grave
    and one foot on the pedal
    i was born a rebel born a rebel

    she picked me up in the mornin’
    and she paid all my tickets
    then she screamed in the car
    left me out in the thicket
    well i never would’ve dreamed
    that her heart was so wicked
    yeah but i keep coming back
    ’cause it’s so hard to kick it hey hey hey

    i was born a rebel down in dixie
    on a sunday mornin’
    yeah with one foot in the grave
    and one foot on the pedal
    i was born a rebel born a rebel

    even before my father’s father
    they called us all rebels
    as they burned our cornfields
    and left our cities leveled
    i can still feel the eyes of those bluebellied devils
    yeah when i’m walking round at night
    through the concrete and metal hey hey hey

    i was born a rebel down in dixie
    on a sunday mornin’
    yeah with one foot in the grave
    and one foot on the pedal
    i was born a rebel born a rebel

    i was born a rebel down in dixie
    on a sunday mornin’
    yeah with one foot in the grave
    and one foot on the pedal
    i was born a rebel born a rebel

    hey hey hey
