Standard (EADGBE)
They call me the Nashville Rebel
They say "Leave that boy alone
Don't you give him advice, or he'll turn to ice
& you might as well talk to stone."
But I've got things to do & things to say in my own way
Verse 2
I don't have time for your parties
Or love's little guessin' games
I've got songs to write in the still of night
I was born to right & sing
& I've got things to do & things to say in my own way
Verse 3
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
'Cause I've got things to do & things to say in my own way
Verse 4
I'm the Nashville Rebel
I'm a loner & I like it fine
I'd like to have a wife, live a normal life
But I just don't have the time
'Cause I've got things to do & things to say in my own way
I've got things to do & things to say in my own way
