Nashville Rebel

They call me the Nashville Rebel

They say leave that boy alone

Don't you give him advice or he'll turn to ice

And you might as well talk to stone.

But I've got things to do

And things to say in my own way

I don't have time for your parties

My love's little guessin' games.

I've got songs to write in the still of night

I was born to write and sing

And I've got things to do

And things to say in my own way.

They call me the Nashville Rebel

Little girl don't you waste your time

For I've given my heart to this old guitar

You deserve a better love than mine.

And I've got things to do

And things to say in my own way

I'm the Nashville Rebel

I'm alone and I like it fine.

I'd like to have a wife and live a normal life

But I just don't have the time

'Cause I've got things to do

And things to say in my own way.

I've got things to do and things to say

In my own way...
