Black Oak Arkansas – Rebel lyrics

Album: Ain't Life Grand

I grew up poor but honest in a Southern land,
I didn't want no trouble from the sheriff's hand,
Hoping you'll believe me, I didn't mean no harm,
Without a shred of mercy, they pushed me off my farm,

So I shot 'em,
Some call it a sin, (no sin, ain't no sin)
I shot 'em,
And I'd do it again (if they pushed me, I'd do it again)
I shot 'em,
I didn't want no trouble, (no trouble, want no trouble),
And now I'm called a rebel, (rebel)
I guess I'm just a rebel, (rebel)

Ridin' my horse on hard river rock,
Can't leave no trail, my gun stays cocked,
Monster's gettin' close, no time for fun,
Life is Hell when you're on the run,
Yeah, I fought back against the law,
'Cause there ain't no justice when ya gotta crawl,

So I shot 'em,
Some call it a sin, (no sin, ain't no sin)
I shot 'em, yeah,
And I'd do it again (if they pushed me, I'd do it again)
I shot 'em,
I didn't want no trouble, (no trouble, want no trouble),
And now I'm called a rebel, (rebel)
I guess I'm just a rebel, (rebel)

I shot 'em,
Some call it a sin, (no sin, ain't no sin)
I shot 'em, yeah,
And I'd do it again (if they pushed me, I'd do it again)
Yeah, I shot 'em,
I didn't want no trouble, (no trouble, want no trouble),
And now I'm called a rebel, (rebel)
I guess I'm just a rebel, (rebel)
Yeah, I am a rebel, (rebel)
I am a real, live rebel! (rebel)

I am a rebel
