Songtext von Renegade

Some prayers never reach the sky Some wounds never heal They still say someday the South will rise Man, I want to see that deal I don't want to grow old gracefully I don't want to go 'til it's too late I'll be some old man in the road somewhere Kneeling down in the dust by the side of the Interstate I am a renegade I've been a rebel all my days I am a renegade I've been a rebel all my days We were hopelessly outnumbered It was a lost cause all along But when we heard the bugles call We swore we'd stand or fall together right or wrong We ain't seen no reconstruction here Just the scorched earth all around And the high school band played "Dixieland" While they tore our tattered flags and banners down I am a renegade I've been a rebel all my days I am a renegade I've been a rebel all my days Some prayers never reach the sky Some wars never end Some dreams refuse to die Next time I would rather break than bend I am a renegade I've been a rebel all my days I am a renegade I've been a rebel all my days
