Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
- - - x2
V1:
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
V2:
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
Chorus
I renegade
I've been a rebel all my days
I renegade
I've been a rebel all my days
V3:
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
V4:
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
->Chorus
Solo
V5:
Some prayers never reach the sky
Some wars never end
Some dreams refuse to die
Next time I would rather break than bend
->Chorus
