Blitzen Trapper - Rebel lyrics

The headlights of my daddy's car
Are dimmer than the moon
And the radio is playin' low
It's Johnny Cash in June
But, I know these hills, these twisted roads
I know their every turn
As the city sit's below and like
A distant fire it burns

'Cause, I'm a rebel to the one I love
Her heart so far from me
Yeah I'm a rebel to the one I love
Just a man who's lost at sea

I was born in east Los Angeles
My father walked the beat so, out of spite
I turned to petty crime upon the streets
Till I met this girl at the pool hall, man
You know she knocked me off my feet
And I swore to change my wicked ways
And win her heart to me

So we married in the month of May
And we moved up in the hills
And like my old man I joined the
Police force to pay the bills
But when a crooked sergeant
Called me in yeah
And I wouldn't play the game
Well, he took my badge and he took my
Gun and he sent me off in shame

'Cause, I'm a rebel to the one I love
Her heart so far from me
Yeah I'm a rebel to the one I love
Just a man who's lost at sea

So I tried my hand at selling cars
But I couldn't make a poor man buy
Then I drove a truck
But I hated all those long and dusty miles
So now I sell that cocaine, honey
Yeah up in the hills of Hollywood
And the one I love, she
Left me, and in truth, i knew she would

'Cause, I'm a rebel to the one I love
Her heart so far from me
Yeah I'm a rebel to the one I love
Just a lover lost at sea

'Cause, I'm a rebel to the one I love
Her heart so far from me
Yeah I'm a rebel to the one I love
Just a man who's lost at sea
