I am just a rebel, that’s what I am
I can raise the Devil with a five piece band
I got two fists of iron, I got a heart of gold
I just have a hard time doin’ what I’m told
Bein’ a hillbilly don’t get me down
I like it like that
In fact, you know it makes me proud
Well, I’m American made by my ma and pa
Southern born by the grace of God
(And I’m) Bound to be a rebel till they put me in the ground
I am just a rebel, can’t you see
Don’t go lookin’ for trouble, it just finds me
When I’m a-walkin’ down the street, people stop and stare
I know they’re talkin’ about me
They say, “There goes a rebel there”
Bein’ a hillbilly don’t get me down
I like it like that
In fact, you know it makes me proud
Well, I’m American made by my ma and pa
Southern born by the grace of God
(And I’m) Bound to be a rebel till they put me in the ground
Yeah, I’m bound to be a rebel
Till they put me in the ground
Yeah, I’m bound to be a rebel
Till they put me in the cold, cold ground
I am just a rebel
I am just a rebel
I am just a rebel
It’s what I am
I am just a rebel
I am just a rebel
