David Lee Murphy - I've Been A Rebel (And It Don't Pay) Lyrics

(David Lee Murphy) Well dad said son don't you be a fool Stay away from that old brown mule He's mean as a snake and twice as quick Oh but always that kind that had to be shown I couldn't listen I couldn't be told Even way back then I had to get my kicks Yeah I been a rebel and it don't pay There ain't no future in livin' this way It ain't worth the trouble and I've tried to change Yeah I done it the hard way all my life It's cost me plenty too many times I been a rebel and it don't pay If there's a bump in the road well I hit 'em all You don't really learn 'til you hit a brick wall Back up and say man I could'a gone around that Yeah sometimes I wish I could just go along But that hard headed streak's just a little too long Gettin' first hand knowledge and goin' nowhere fast Yeah I been a rebel and it don't pay There ain't no future in livin' this way It ain't worth the trouble and I've tried to change Yeah I done it the hard way all my life It's cost me plenty too many times I been a rebel and it don't pay Yeah I been a rebel and it don't pay There ain't no future in livin' this way It ain't worth the trouble and I've tried to change Yeah I done it the hard way all my life It's cost me plenty too many times I been a rebel and it don't pay David Lee Murphy Lyrics I've Been A Rebel (And It Don't Pay) Lyrics
