Testo Renegade - Warren Zevon

Renegade

Some prayers never reach the sky
Some wounds never heal
They still say, «Someday the South will rise»
Man, I wanna see that deal
I don’t wanna grow old gracefully
I don’t wanna go 'til it’s too late
I’ll be some old man in the road somewhere
Kneelin' down in the dust by the side of the interstate
I am a renegade
I’ve been a rebel all my days
I am a renegade
I’ve been a rebel all my days
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
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
I am a renegade
I’ve been a rebel all my days
I am a renegade
I’ve been a rebel all my days
Some prayers never reach the sky
Some wars never end
And some dreams refuse to die
Next time I would rather break than bend
I am a renegade
I’ve been a rebel all my days
I am a renegade
I’ve been a rebel all my days
I am a renegade
I’ve been a rebel all my days
I am a renegade
I’ve been a rebel all my days
