The Rebel

Verse 1

My brother called me Sunday night

Said the mill shut down the line

His little girl needs medicine

And he's three weeks behind

Pre-Chorus

So I drove down to the depot

Where they lock the doors at ten

Told the man I'd pay him double

If he'd just look the other way

Chorus

Sometimes the right thing ain't the legal thing

Sometimes you bend what you can't break

I ain't proud of every choice I made

But I'd make every one again

Call me the rebel

Verse 2

My daddy wore a badge for years

Kept his boots shined every day

He said son there's lines you don't cross

Then he'd wink and look away

Pre-Chorus

He taught me how to drive a truck

Before I turned thirteen

Said the law's a fence for honest men

But a fence can have a gate

Chorus

Sometimes the right thing ain't the legal thing

Sometimes you bend what you can't break

I ain't proud of every choice I made

But I'd make every one again

Call me the rebel

Bridge

I ain't no outlaw

I ain't no saint

Just a man who knows

What a good heart ain't

Chorus

Sometimes the right thing ain't the legal thing

Sometimes you bend what you can't break

I ain't proud of every choice I made

But I'd make every one again

Call me the rebel

Call me the rebel

(Yeah I'd do it all again)
